The Master of Media and Creative Technologies (MMCT) allows you to choose from one of the three subjects available: Creative Practices, Creative Technologies and Screen and Media Studies, offered under the School of Arts and School of Social Sciences. Each area offers you the opportunity to blend artistic and technical forms in new combinations.

Alongside taught papers, you will work on a year-long supervised programme where you will develop a major work (or works) that serves as the flagship of your graduate portfolio of creative works.

Study under the MMCT will give you extensive collaborative project experience which is supported by technical expertise and advanced creative skills. You will also benefit from substantial grounding in postgraduate academic practice and the deployment of critical and methodological skills in original research.
