In today's rapidly evolving creative and cultural industries, there is a growing need for talented producers who can apply their ideas and skills across existing and emerging platforms, and technologies to produce new kinds of experience design.
The MA/MFA Creative Producer degree will develop your creative leadership potential. You will become equipped to work at the crossover between creative practice and emerging technologies, managing multiple platforms and interdisciplinary teams.
As part of a dynamic partnership with Bristol's Watershed, the course is hosted by the Pervasive Media Studio and UWE Bristol's Digital Cultures Research Centre. You will realise your potential as a creative producer in this unique research and development space where artists, engineers, academics and designers work together to develop innovation.
Industry-ready skills
The course provides an immersion into the world of creative innovation. It is the UK's only Masters course focusing on the use of digital technologies at the interface of physical design and traditional art forms.
You will develop vital practical skills such as bidding, pitching, project management, and social media management. There is also significant emphasis on the key personal development aspects of becoming a producer: collaboration, talent development, ideas development, imagination, resilience, judgement and risk management.
Real-world experience
Industry experience is a key component of the course, and we will support you in working alongside experienced producers on live projects. You will work directly with experimental technologies, have placements in some of Bristol's most exciting cultural organisations and companies, and build a portfolio of your own work. You will take the role of lead producer on one of your own projects by the end of the degree.

Course programme
Course structure will be available soon.
Learning and TeachingThe programme is based on a 50/50 spit between practice and theory. Alongside professional competencies, you will develop the personal skills and resilience that are essential to success as a Creative Producer.
Learning methods will include presentations, workshops, discussions, group work, supervision, and placement. You will also be encouraged to engage in a significant degree of self-directed study time, both in groups and individually.
For more details, see our full glossary of learning and teaching terms.
Study timeThis Masters can be taken as either a one year full-time or two years part-time course. The part-time option has been designed to allow students to integrate studies around existing work commitments.
Contact hours vary from module to module but you can expect the full-time pathway to need a commitment of approximately three days per week. If you choose to study part-time, you will study one module per term, with the workload adjusted accordingly.
In the full-time route, term one is delivered as a 12 week twilight programme with an additional two 'sprint' hackdays and two all day teaching sessions. You will receive fortnightly supervision and will be required to do up to five days of shadowing time.
Term two involves four teaching sessions, each session lasting one day, and an eight week placement.
Term three is delivered by supervision and weekly cohort production meetings.
AssessmentWe use a variety of assessment tools during the course, with an emphasis on report writing and presentations. These offer a robust and compelling way to track your development while giving you the chance to refine the evaluation and communication skills that are relevant to the real world.
