The course is a new kind of degree provision, alert to the needs of industry and developed in partnership with it. It will enhance your creative potential through a curriculum that fosters individual expression in a context of professional practice. Creative Media Practice offers opportunities to work in both educational and professional contexts with the final year of the course being delivered at Bath Spa’s Digital Media Enterprise ‘Artswork Media’ at its studio and production facilities at Paintworks, Bristol.

During the course students will have the chance to study and experience a variety of media roles. Within the Year 3 project modules you will work with industry mentors and the University careers service to plan your future – be it progression to further study or seeking opportunities in the workplace. You will have a detailed understanding of key areas of employment which draw on creative media skills. You will also have a thorough understanding of the opportunities associated with freelance work and the process of establishing your own business. By equipping you with this range of critical and practice-based skills, the degree will provide a firm foundation for work in a rapidly expanding and changing media sector in which multiskilling, creativity and agility are increasingly essential. Since 2011, employers such as ESPN, The Farm Group and the University of Exeter have recruited graduates from this course. Students have also gone into roles including Production Assistant, Freelance Camera Operator, Director of Photography and Post Production Runner.
