Course description
These Masters degrees are part-time and designed to fit around professional working life. The degrees are project centred with students carrying out practice-based and academic projects in the creative arts and digital media.
Enquirers and applicants are asked in the first instance to contact the course director and attend a free taster seminar, held monthly, from which they write an outline project proposal. If accepted onto the course, students then conduct a project over two years under our supervision, as well as a dissertation in the second year on a related theme. Our staff are able to provide guidance for projects in creative writing (including script writing and poetry), multimedia, digital photography, arts and theatre management, visual arts curation, journalism, film and video production, film theory, and interactive games technologies. They are also able to supervise academic projects and dissertations, with specific expertise in cultural and digital memory, gender and the media, new media education, mobile and social technologies, transcultural identities, media and diasporic communities.
We have strategic relationships with a number of international cultural institutions on the South Bank including Tate Britain and the National Theatre, as well as industry links with the BBC, BSkyB and the International Game Developer Forum. Our staff have an excellent record of international publications, as well as successful creative practices in the cultural industries and media arts.
Students have full access to digital media facilities, a theatre and a digital gallery, supported by dedicated technicians. With LSBU close to the South Bank, across the river from the West End and Soho, our students have unrivalled access to the capital’s creative and media arts communities.
Career opportunities
Employers support our project-centred Masters because they enable active learning, project management, skill development, innovation and experimentation.

The MA is also a strong foundation for an MPhil or PhD, with a number of our students going on to further study each year.
