The MA Creative Studies is aimed at students who want to develop their career in creative industries. It offers a flexible pathway to a Masters level qualification. You’ll have access to exciting creative challenges and relevant vocational training, supported by the expertise of industry professionals and experienced tutors.
You'll have the opportunity to create a programme of study that is tailored to your chosen subjects including journalism, writing, film and design. We offer modules from a range of subjects in the School of Arts & Creative Industries, and anticipate most students will select modules from their area of specialism to develop their skills.
This course is offered full-time (in one-year) or in a part-time flexible format, where you can build up credit towards an MA degree by studying individual modules to upskill in areas of interest, similar to CPD or training. The part-time flexible format is designed for people who are looking for specific professional development and training but cannot commit to full-time study.
If you opt to study as a full-time student, you will study six taught modules across the first two trimesters. A standard module is equivalent to 200 hours of learning and on successful completion of each module you will achieve 20 credits towards your chosen award. In the third trimester, you will also undertake personal research and complete a dissertation or final project to gain 60 credits towards your master’s degree.
