MA Creative Media Practice: University of Sussex

About the programme

This MA encourages new thinking and creativity across a broad spectrum of creative production and exhibition, and explores the theoretical underpinnings of emergent media practices. Led by award-winning media artists as well as critical theorists, the programme offers the opportunity to explore critically informed creative practice across digital media, photography and a range of aural and visual forms. Relationships among these emergent media practices are investigated through a combination of lectures, seminars and hands-on workshops.

This MA provides an opportunity for students from diverse backgrounds to take advantage of Sussex’s unique interdisciplinary history and practices. It is an ideal environment for existing media practitioners to further their technical and conceptual knowledge, as well as expanding their practice into new forms.
