The multi-faceted Cultural & Creative Industries MA programme provides a critical understanding of the cultural and creative industries - which include the visual and performing arts, museums and galleries, media and film - for graduates from arts, social science and other appropriate disciplines who wish to explore the cultural and creative industries intellectually, to pursue a career in these areas and/or progress to doctoral research. This programme will help you develop a critical understanding of the structure and history of the cultural and creative industries. Youll draw from various disciplinary approaches, from cultural studies to sociology to media studies, to explore the nuanced past, present, and future of the creative and cultural industries. During this Cultural & Creative Industries MA, you will learn from the teaching, research, and professional expertise of both King's academics and professionals working in the field.

  • Enjoy a central location in the heart of London's arts and media industries.
  • Learn from teaching staff that provide cutting-edge knowledge of current debates and trends.
  • Gain a balance of real-world knowledge and theoretical perspectives.
  • Expand your network with guest lectures from leading cultural and creative industry professionals.
  • Join a vibrant Culture, Media and Creative Industries department that is an internationally recognised specialist in these fields.

This Cultural & Creative Industries MA is a unique interdisciplinary course that draws on cultural theories, cultural history, digital culture, management, screen studies, museum and heritage studies, cultural policy, gender, and fashion. Youll begin this Masters by studying the key concepts and theoretical frameworks relevant to the cultural and creative industries so that you can start to develop your own critical perspective on this topic. You will come away with a clear understanding of the contexts and debates within the cultural and creative industries and their impact on practice within the sector and build your own toolkit of analytical skills from a range of relevant disciplines. The second semesters compulsory module will consider politics, creativity and labour in the cultural and creative industries. This is when you will expand your knowledge and understanding of the real-world workings of the sector, including cultural policies, the conditions of creative labour and the challenges faced by those who work within it. You can also choose from a broad list of optional modules to further tailor your studies. For example, you could examine the nature of work and labour in the cultural and media industries, explore the specific cultures that intersect with the gaming industries, or get an introduction to the fast-moving field of cultural memory studies. Or you might choose to learn about the business of culture, studying its relationship with the city or markets. This Cultural and Creative Industries MA will culminate in a dissertation. You will be able to choose whether you work on a traditional dissertation or if you want to collaborate with a cultural partner on your research.
