MRes Creative Practice
About This Course
This degree draws on and draws together our strong focus on the synthesis of critical/theoretical work and practice. In the first semester you will take modules in creativity and research and in media theory, before embarking on the production of a substantial practice-based dissertation under the supervision of a specialist member of staff.
The dissertation includes both a reflective/critical element and a portfolio, and can be undertaken in any of the practice-based disciplines taught, including writing, screenwriting, performance, television and radio production, film and documentary making, digital media writing and production, and journalism. Successful applicants will have an excellent first degree in a relevant discipline or equivalent practical/industrial experience, and a demonstrated ability to work independently to bring a self-directed project to completion.
Careers
The MRes in Creative Practice will prepare you to meet the need, increasingly being identified within industry, for self-reflective practitioners with experience at project development in the creative sector.
We actively seek to put students in contact with relevant industry bodies and organises a variety of professional workshops and competitions, e.g. through the Enterprise by Design scheme.
Past graduates have secured positions in a variety of creative (and related) industries, including broadcasting and filmmaking, advertising, PR, games development and tourism.
