Welcome to the School of Computing and Creative Industries at Leeds Trinity University
Empowering Minds, Transforming Futures – Computing and Creativity for Good
About Us
The School of Computing and Creative Industries is a vibrant, multidisciplinary hub where technology, creativity, and communication converge. We bring together expertise in Computing, English & Creative Writing, Journalism, Media, Photography, Film, Digital Media Production, and Games Design.
Each subject area is taught as a distinct discipline, giving students the opportunity to develop deep expertise. Together, these programmes create the ethos of the School: a community that values innovation, ethical responsibility, and creative expression.
Our Mission – “Computing and Creativity for Good”
We are committed to advancing knowledge and practice across both computing and the creative industries. While the subjects are taught independently, our shared mission is to foster work that is imaginative, socially responsible, and transformative.
Programmes and Courses
- Computing: Computer Science, AI, Cyber Security, Data Science, Games Development
- Creative and Cultural Disciplines: English, Creative Writing, Journalism, Media, Photography, Film, Digital Media Production, Games Design
This breadth ensures that students can immerse themselves in their chosen discipline while being part of a wider School that thrives on the connections between technology, storytelling, culture, and creativity.
Ethics and Social Responsibility
Across all programmes, we embed a commitment to ethics, inclusivity, and impact. Students are encouraged to think critically and act responsibly, whether they are building digital solutions, producing creative works, or shaping public debate.
Why This Combination Matters
While our subjects are taught separately, the School’s ethos reflects the dynamic intersections between them. By uniting computing with the creative industries, we prepare graduates to succeed in diverse and evolving career pathways, from software development and digital innovation to journalism, cultural production, and the media industries.
