Course Modules
The MA in Creative Practice is a 12-month 90 credit course. There are three mandatory taught modules: Themes and Issues in Creative Practice (10 credits) Professional Development (10 credits) Research and Innovation (10 credits) Students undertaking the MA will also undertake either a 60-credit ‘Research Project’, or two 30 credit modules, ‘Creative Practice Project’ and ‘Minor Thesis’ The Research Project or Creative Practice Project is initiated by a project proposal which will be guided and developed to completion by the end of the course. In the case of the 60-credit Research Project module; first, a practice-based element is undertaken where the student focuses on developing their art, film, digital media or socially engaged practice to completion. The second element seeks to critically contextualize their practice through the written form, taking into consideration the wider social and cultural fields in which their practice will perform. The two elements can overlap to greater or lesser extent depending on the project and the individual requirements. This structure has allowed the separation and offering of the Creative Practice Project module, followed by the Minor Thesis module. These two 30-credit modules largely mirror the overlapping elements structure of the 60-credit module, however they can also be taken independently. This flexibility also allows the opportunity of an exit from the MA programme with a 60-credit Post-Graduate Diploma.
