We aim to be a bridge to industry for bright new talent, using the concept and method of 'critical practice', which addresses the need for a broad range of skills and innovation. ‘Critical practice' transcends traditional fields within the audio visual landscape: our purpose is to develop knowledge and understanding through active enquiry, practical work and reflective processes.
Graduates gain strong conceptual, critical and creative skills alongside a broad range of transferable practical skills. By teaching in a way which is both intellectually challenging and vocationally appropriate, we aim to produce graduates who are daring, employable, innovative and skilled.
For us, 'critical practice' is all about the freedom to experiment, to think differently, to be individual. We try to bring creative and unconventional approaches to all of the MAs which form the centre of this Media Academy: a diverse postgraduate media programme embedded in a rich, high-rated University research environment.
