The Creative Industries and Cultural Policy MSc involves a taught course followed by an individual supervised dissertation.
The taught component which starts in September involves a combination of lectures, seminars and group-work sessions. In previous years the teaching on the two largest core courses, Creative Industries and Cultural Policy (semester 1) and Creative Lives and Cultural Industries (semester 2) has been supported by guest lectures, in which practitioners, policy makers and key influencers from across the creative sector have been invited to share their perspectives.
This is followed by an individual supervised research dissertation (worth 60 credits). The academic team have extensive experience of conducting empirical studies within the creative sector, and are thus able to support a wide range of industry and policy related topics and research approaches
