Master of Arts (Creative Media)

---

Why a Masters of Creative Media? Every profession requires some understanding of the media.  Yet increasingly, understanding is not enough.  We need active citizens to make the media more democratic, intelligent and passionately committed to addressing the social problems, political fears and ethical questions of our time.  Creative Media is an innovative Masters programme offered at the University of Brighton.  It is both a description of what we do and an agenda for future practice.  We take the best elements from media education, creative industries, media studies and literacy theory and offer students a suite of modules.  Choice, flexibility and innovation are our key words.  The course has been designed to fit in with career goals, family and working patterns and personal interests.  There are also opportunities to complete shorter programmes in Creative Media at both Certificate and Diploma level.  It is also possible to complete the full Masters, Certificate or Diploma through distance education. The modules are listed below, and I am happy to provide any further descriptions, assignments and details for any interested colleagues.  What modules could I do?
