The Arts and Creative Technologies (by negotiated study) Masters Degree at the University of Staffordshire empowers you to design your own postgraduate journey, ideal for those with a specific creative project or professional ambition that existing courses don't quite meet. You will explore the dynamic intersection of arts, humanities, and creative technologies, shaping a curriculum tailored to your unique goals. This program is perfect for individuals looking to develop a book or film, compile a professional portfolio, or prepare for an exhibition, building upon existing experience or undergraduate achievements. You will engage with flexible learning approaches and a series of negotiated projects, fostering independent inquiry and creative problem-solving.
Studied full-time on campus over one year, your experience will be guided by a subject-specific mentor who helps you formalise your learning contract. You will undertake compulsory modules in approaches to flexible learning and research methods, preparing you for your masters project. The remainder of your bespoke course allows you to leverage university resources and expertise to achieve your defined objectives. You will work alongside faculty and potentially engage with research centres, culminating in a significant negotiated masters project. You will graduate with an MSc or MA in Arts and Creative Technologies (by negotiated study), demonstrating advanced skills and commitment for future career opportunities or funding applications.
