About MediaCityUK

Where science and creativity collide

We are currently the only University to have a presence at MediaCityUK, with a space designed to encourage creativity, innovation and collaboration between academics, students, professionals and industry. 

Located at the heart of six national BBC departments and a mass of independent specialist creative, digital and media organisations - our new location at MediaCityUK opened its doors in October 2011.

Our vision is to create an innovation led academic ecosystem that is transdisicplinary, and nurtures the development of talent for the creative, media and technology economies.

This is a space where science and creativity collide to deliver the big digital ideas of the future – a new world requiring talented people from different disciplines to think and work together.
