The MA by Creative Practice provides an exciting course bringing together a vibrant mix of diverse subjectivities including Fine Art, Design, Drama, Dance, Performance Studies and Music; which is open to graduates from the UK and abroad.
The course is designed to suit both students progressing directly from undergraduate studies and also for more established creative professionals wishing to update and reinvigorate their practices.
The MA is comprised of both formally taught modules, delivered by a wide range of creative staff and practitioners; and an individual programme of practice and research negotiated with an appropriate subject specialist who acts as practice supervisor. The programme is facilitated by well equipped studios, practice and performance spaces supported by enthusiastic technical support.
There is strong emphasis on independent learning requiring personal responsibility, reflection and evaluation as well as ample scope for the dissemination of research outcomes in PGR Forums and in appropriately professional standard spaces within, and beyond, the university.
Applicants must be highly motivated with a strong desire to develop intellectually as well as developing an imaginative, thoughtful and exciting body of work.

Each module is assessed and a total of 180 credits is required to graduate with the MA (although earlier successful exit points can result in the award of a Diploma or Certificate qualification).</p> <p>Assessment will include practical outcomes (such as exhibitions, performances and presentations), written assignments and other supporting professional practice.</p> <p><strong>BCPM006 - Creative Practice Research Methodology </strong></p> <p>This module presents students with key examples of Practice as Research methodology and discusses the development of their major projects. Throughout the module, students develop a portfolio of work which records their progress as researchers, building towards their final body of work, together with their Creative Research Statement and Conference Presentation. Its goal is to guide students through the process of academic research, in which they accrue knowledge of Practice as Research within the arts and expertise in managing their own independent research project.</p> <p><strong>BCPM007 - Perspectives on Creative Practice</strong></p> <p>The module consists of a series of core lectures reflecting a range of discourses and aspects of practice relevant to the contemporary milieu. Drawing on a range of disciplinary perspectives it seeks to provide a series of lenses through which creative practice can be perceived, reflected on and given impetus with reference to contemporary practice including colleagues and visiting academics and creative practitioners.</p> <p><strong>BCPM008 - Professional Creative Practice</strong></p> <p>The module provides a focus for professional practice as it relates to creative practice. It will provide an opportunity for advanced reflection on the relationship between production and consumption of cultural artefacts and events and encourage students to prepare themselves for the professional world. The module will broadly outline the key contexts of both documentary methodology and dissemination, allowing the students then to develop a framework for the presentation of their practice. Content will therefore include key introductions to website design, photographic archiving, publication, use of social media or emerging virtual platforms, networking and database membership, conferencing and applications to funding mechanisms.</p> <p><strong>BCPM009 - Exploratory Creative Practice</strong></p> <p>The module consists of a series of tutorials with the student, initially to agree a robust creative research area, subsequently to provide a critical dialogue, creative encouragement, professional advice and technical assistance.</p> <p><strong>BCPM0010 - Developmental Creative Practice&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong></p> <p>This module follows on from the Exploratory Creative Practice module and builds on it to develop the substantial focus of the creative work proposed.</p> <p>The module places an increasing emphasis on self-direction supported by the accompanying negotiated bi-weekly tutorials.</p> <p><strong>BCPM011 - Advanced Creative Practice</strong></p> <p>This Advanced Creative Practice module builds upon the Exploratory and Developmental modules and represents the culmination of the creative output of the student. It supports the contextualisation, realisation, appraisal and dissemination of the practice to a mature public facing and professional level.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> </div>
