Study at the Centre
Encounter a distinctive approachThe distinctive approach of the Centre's teaching is an engagement with both the practical realities of working in the cultural sector and with theoretical questions around the conditions of contemporary culture. We attract students wishing to develop their careers and at the same time reflect on the wider implications of their work within a stimulating intellectual environment. Graduates from the Centre have an excellent employment record. We offer three taught MA programmes and a PhD in Cultural Policy Studies. MA courses in our subject areas at other universities often have very large class sizes of 100+. At Warwick, by contrast, we attach great importance to small class sizes, individual attention and innovative teaching practices. The average class size for core modules is between 20-30 students; classes for option modules are sometimes smaller. This internationally popular programme enables students to understand the theory and practice of cultural policy in different countries from around the world. Students are also able to develop their skills in arts management, spend some time on placement within a cultural organisation (optional) and conduct their own research project. The course is particularly attractive to those seeking or developing careers in arts and cultural management either in the UK or abroad. Non-European students may be particularly interested in the study of alternative models of cultural policy. More... This is the first programme in the UK to examine the business of creativity, from the global cultural industries to the freelance economy. The course is designed to cut across different industries and to cross the boundary between theory and practice. For anybody who wants to turn creative ideas into a successful business, this course explores the special relationship between creative imagination and strategic management, from the international industrial context down to the practical dilemmas confronting the small creative firm. More... This programme is designed to enable students to develop their understanding of media communications in an increasingly globalised world. It will combine theoretical study with applied perspectives on global media – examining media content and products in terms of their creative processes of production and their strategic uses in communication. It will also look at the contexts of creative and strategic activity - the power of global media in developing new global cultures of taste and consumption, and in changing the relation between culture and politics. More... We welcome applications for the degree of PhD in Cultural Policy Studies, on either a full-time or a part-time basis, from those who have successfully completed one of the Centre's taught MA programmes and from those who have graduated in a relevant subject elsewhere with appropriate academic qualifications.
