About Creative App Development, MA - at Falmouth University Flexible Learning

Around the world, apps are constantly crossing creative boundaries to change the ways we interact with our environment and engage with our hobbies, work, and play. This diversity broadens the scope of app development from being a solely technical domain to a highly-creative one – where technology and creativity meet to create innovative apps that captivate users.

Falmouth Flexible’s online MA Creative App Development will equip you with the expert knowledge and skills you need to create apps for a range of platforms, including smartphones, games, VR, tablets, desktops, and physical art installations.
