Master of Research - Creative Practice

This degree draws on and draws together a strong focus on the synthesis of critical/theoretical work and practice. In the first semester students 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.
