The Cultural, Creative and Media Industries (CCMI) course offers a deep and captivating journey. It delves into the performing and visual arts. It explores the lively worlds of music, film, fashion, TV, gaming, and publishing. It equips students with the expertise to excel in leadership roles, drive strategic initiatives, influence policies, and promote entrepreneurship within the realm of creative and cultural sectors.
In the first year, you'll learn the basics of cultural production. You'll do this by exploring different industries and strategies. In the second year, you will develop critical thinking skills and tailor your studies by choosing specialised topics of interest. In the final year, you can either do a research project or a practical project. In addition to the core modules, you can pick extra ones from across the School of Arts, Languages, and Cultures. This will let you explore subjects such as sustainability, leadership, and business.
You will also have chances to gain industry experience. You will do this through a long placement in your third year. Both the host organisation and your academic mentor will oversee the placement.
