Programme details
Explore new creative possibilities at the intersection of art, media, immersive technologies and AI.
The creative industries are changing rapidly. Artificial intelligence (AI), immersive environments, virtual production and interactive technologies are transforming how we imagine, create and experience media.
The BA (Hons) Creative Media Arts: Immersive and Interdisciplinary AI Practices programme invites you to explore these exciting possibilities and develop the creative confidence, technological understanding and critical thinking needed to shape the future of media.
The interdisciplinary curriculum brings together artistic practice, emerging technologies and innovative approaches to storytelling and audience experience. Whether your interests lie in filmmaking, animation, digital arts, interactive experiences, creative technology or AI-assisted media production, you are encouraged to experiment across disciplines, develop your own creative identity and discover new ways of communicating ideas.
The programme adopts a distinctive media-first approach, focusing on the fundamentals of creative expression and communication through legacy media (film and animation) before moving on to new technologies, positioning imagination, visual literacy, storytelling, and artistic judgement at the heart of your education.
Rather than simply learning to operate the latest technologies, you will develop the ability to direct, question and creatively integrate them into meaningful artistic experiences. AI is situated as a tool for exploration and collaboration, not a replacement for your imagination and voice.
Above all, the programme prepares you to be more than a user of emerging technologies. It empowers you to become an imaginative, adaptable and critically engaged creative practitioner, ready to explore new possibilities and help shape the future of creative media.

LASALLE uses a 5–point Grade Point Average (GPA) system to track students’ academic progress throughout their studies.
Students receive letter grades for each module taken. Each grade corresponds to a grade point as shown below:

| A | 5.0 |
| A– | 4.5 |
| B+ | 4.0 |
| B | 3.5 |
| B– | 3.0 |
| C+ | 2.5 |
| C | 2.0 |
| D+ | 1.5 |
| D | 1.0 |
| F | 0.0 |
The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) represents the grade point average of all modules attempted by the student. A minimum CGPA of 2.00 is required for graduation.
The computation of CGPA is as follows:
All modules, including repeat attempts, are included in the computation of the CGPA with the exception of modules that are exempted or where students were absent with valid reasons.

LASALLE recognises the important role of artists and designers in creating a sustainable and caring world. The curriculum provides opportunities for students to identify and explore issues around sustainability (from ecology and global climate change to the sustainability of their own creative practices and wider cultural communities) and care (for the well-being and advancement of oneself and others).
The College actively encourages students to engage with and investigate these crucial contemporary issues as part of their studies, including through their projects, and critical and creative outputs. Through interdisciplinary learning and strong engagement with these topics, the aim is to empower students to lead the way towards sustainable practices and caring communities within the cultural and creative industries.
LASALLE recognises the role of artificial intelligence (AI) as a profound influence on contemporary creative and professional practices. AI plays a significant role in learning and teaching by enabling innovative methods and approaches.
The College actively encourages you to critically and responsibly investigate AI, evaluating its impact within your discipline and making informed choices to adopt, adapt or reject emerging tools while ensuring your practice remains original, professional and future-ready.
This approach equips you with both technical adaptability and reflective discernment, preparing you for a sustainable future in the creative industries.
Basic materials for learning are provided by the College.
As a developing artist, you are required to have certain items that are personal to you and cannot be shared. Such items include books, dance shoes, rehearsal clothes, safety boots, portable musical instruments, paints, canvas, basic tools, design software, cameras, etc., that will support you through your three-year learning journey. The College does not encourage the purchase of extravagant or costly materials or equipment. Our lecturers can provide you with affordable suggestions.
