This is a flexible and diverse triple-subject course for those who wish to follow a career in the creative and cultural industries and who would prefer a broad understanding of the fields of art, media and design. The global, national and London creative industries are growing and converging at a rapid rate. This unique course offers the scope and flexibility for students to prepare for a general or management career in the creative industries or to develop as inter-disciplinary artisans and practitioners with a broad skills base. Students benefit from access to a wide range of theoretical and practical options across the fine art, design, product design and media disciplines offered by the Department.

Course structure
The course is based on a commitment to independent study at postgraduate level.

The course involves thinking and working through what is entailed in the project, and locating it in appropriate contexts. The research methods module and research seminars are designed to open up a range of approaches to the analysis and discussion of research methods and strategies, in order to foster analytical, reflective, and evaluative skills, and the ability to locate practice within critical, theoretical, and cultural contexts.

You follow a core programme of research seminars, and an agreed course of independent study monitored by a negotiated learning agreement. During the first semester both full-time and part-time students develop their initial ideas into a fully worked-out project proposal. This is put before the examination board for approval before progress on the course can continue. Completion of the MA requires that your project proposal is developed into a body of practical work of the required standard with a critical report, or developed into a body of research written up as a thesis.

Entry requirements
Applicants are expected to possess an honours degree in applied art, design, fine art, music technology, or restoration and conservation. However, applications are considered from those who possess degrees in related disciplines, and those with related professional or BTEC qualifications.

Consideration will be given to those without standard entry qualifications, who have gained non-certified experience through prior learning, provided evidence is given that this is commensurate with entry qualifications for a postgraduate course.

The focus of an MA by Project is a self-originated substantial body of independent work. The research project may be practice-based, or developed as a thesis. The project may involve the development of design(s), artwork(s), craftwork(s), artifact(s), article(s), musical instrument(s), or research on existing examples of the above, or processes for the production or development of the above, submitted as a body of practical work with accompanying reflective and critical report. Alternately, the research can be written up and submitted as a dissertation. It is undertaken by proposing a project and then carrying it through within a supportive and structured framework.
