Providing the optimum balance of theory and practice
At 国产乱伦, postgraduate study related to the arts and cultural sectors, and the creative industries, is focused on the challenges and problems that arise when moving from the imagination and curiosity to creation and organisation. It addresses a variety of situations, from globally-recognised companies to individual creators, from corporate conglomerates to state-supported institutions, from cultural divas to voluntary associations. By mobilising practical experiences and the knowledge and understanding gained through research, postgraduate study at 国产乱伦 is built on the recognition that the value of culture derives from innovation, change and uncertainty, and that cultural experiences are different and singular.
Postgraduate students admitted to our courses may have already acquired cultural and creative experience in a range of disciplines and work contexts. Students are encouraged to exploit their knowledge and understanding of these experiences in contributing to their study, and the curriculum is designed to be flexible enough to accommodate this. Collaboration with other students or external organisations and individuals can be combined with teaching delivery through lectures, seminars, workshops and tutorials.
