Job Opportunity Potential
Graduates will be able to work in a range of environments from the cultural sector to television, film, online content creation and production houses.
Though you are likely to pursue a career as a screen performer after graduating, the technical production skills you learn on the MA will equip you to work in production behind the scenes or indeed to create your own original film/digital content.
Potential employers include those in the media such as television and film production companies but also businesses, charities and educational providers. Skills employed in the making of screen performance and digital screen production, such as independent and collaborative problem solving, gathering and synthesis of ideas and themes, understanding and integration of the needs of a range of stakeholders, can be used to address many areas of creative practice.
Graduates will also be equipped through the programme to pursue careers as individual, self-employed practitioners working across forms and disciplines.
