Course Overview

The course aims to nurture and develop the cognitive and practical skills to prepare students for graduate employment, and is designed to give an academic foundation for a range of career prospects within the creative industries. The modules facilitate both breadth and depth of learning and are designed to encourage progressively more autonomy allowing students to develop intellectually as independent, critically reflective practitioners. Practical skills development is continually underpinned by a theoretical understanding of genres along with key cognitive skills, which ensure that students are thoroughly prepared for the challenges of the ever-changing workplace. The curriculum reflects the nature of work within the creative industries which requires technical competence, artistry and creativity.
