Art, Design & Media

Not many postgraduate courses allow you to combine thorough research with artistic genius, but with a postgraduate degree in art, design or media you’ll be able to harness your mind and free your imagination.

 

Whether you want to study an MPhil in the history of art or an MA in contemporary jewellery, there is bound to be something in this area for you. It’s a chance to further your first degree in a creative environment or apply your extensive industry experience in higher education.

 

This seems to be one of the main attractions of postgraduate qualifications in art, design or media. Not only do people want to create an impressive CV, they want the freedom to be creative and experimental, which is exactly what these areas of study can offer. For example, a postgraduate course in design can offer opportunities to students to explore areas that would be ‘off limits’ in a commercial environment, generating questions and stimulating critical debate and creativity.

 

Also, many universities are now combining their art courses with a business discipline, equipping students with more than just creative knowhow to prepare them to enter the job market. The impetus for art, design or media students to have business knowledge is higher than ever. It is also a pacesetter in new media, from multimedia journalism to creative advertising. So whether it’s your career or creativity you’re looking to give a boost, a postgraduate course in art, design or media could be right for you.
