Study Creative Industries with us and you’ll gain a deep understanding and appreciation of the past, present and future of creative arts. We’ll cover a range of topics, from the impact of history, sociology and culture on the creative industries to how gender and ethnicity are considered on screen and through the written word. Develop the best creative skills in the best environment to stimulate you creatively and academically.
On our project-based courses, you will work on a group project which is defined by your tutor and based on a complex real-life problem. Each course will have a theme which connects all subjects, to encourage collaboration between groups and peer feedback. In taught sessions, your tutor will equip you with the practical subject knowledge required to address the problem you have been assigned, and you will take ownership of your project during group work facilitated by teaching assistants. To learn from industry experts, you will also visit companies, innovators, and experts to immerse you in the current issues defining your subject area and the overall course theme. Your course will culminate in group presentation to peers, staff and external experts.
