    About

    Overview

    Considering a career in the creative industries? There’s never been a better time, with this sector contributing over £13 million to the UK’s economy every hour.

    Whether your interest is in film, music or digital media production, our MA Creative Industries course is designed to meet the high demand for those with specialist creative skills. We even have our very own student-led creative agency, Brookes Creative, where you can gain invaluable hands-on experience.

    But applying your expertise to real challenges doesn’t end there. In the Optional Work Placement module, you could work on a real assignment for a local business or organisation. For example, creating public awareness videos for Thames Valley Police, or making publicity films and social media for our local independent cinema.

    One in eight UK businesses are in the creative industries, which means there are endless career opportunities. Throughout the course you’ll be building on your interests and strengths, while discovering what it takes to stand out from the crowd and impress potential employers after you graduate.
