MA Creative & Cultural Entrepreneurship: Computing Pathway

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MA 1 year full-time or 2 years part-time

Course Description

This programme allows you to develop the business/entrepreneurial skills and attributes to commercialise on your creative and cultural practices and/or knowledge.

The Computing (games and entertainment) Pathway of the MA Creative and Cultural Entrepreneurship allows you to build on a historical and theoretical understanding of cultural and creative industries and the development of a cultural economy to create your own creative initiatives, which might be research-based, policy-based, practice-based, or a combination of any or all of these.

Our collective approach is to integrate entrepreneurship within the development of creative practices and to take a ‘creative’ approach to the development of new businesses and the infrastructure that supports them.

Entry Requirements

You should have (or expect to be awarded) an undergraduate degree of at least upper second class standard in a relevant/related subject and/or high level professional experience in a discipline related to computing in the creative industries, including computer games, film/TV/video post-production, social media and the web, visualisation and computer graphics-based practices.

When applying, please specify your preferred pathway i.e. Computing (games and entertainment). You must demonstrate in your written application and in interview that you have a capacity for creative and cultural entrepreneurship, and that you are able to meet the intellectual demands of the programme.

This may relate directly to a ‘product’ or ‘process’ arising from you own practice or to a form of ‘expertise’, ‘consultancy’ or ‘knowledge’.
