What will I learn?

What you can expect from your masters

If you’re an early or mid-career creative media industries professional keen to boost your career or take it in a new direction, SAE’s 1-year full-time MA/MSc Professional Practice in Creative Media Industries postgraduate degree can help get you there. Whatever your creative industries sector – music business, audio production, marketing, film production, games, animation or web development – you’ll have the opportunity to critically reflect on areas of interest through creative media projects of your choosing.

Across 3 trimesters of fully remote study, you’ll conceive, plan and bring your substantial creative body of work to life with support from your own dedicated Learning Advisor. The programme will see you conduct research, expand your technical skills and knowledge across your field of expertise, take part in self-directed learning, and maximise work-based and professional practice opportunities, all online and delivered in a flexible way that fits around your busy life.

Becoming a fully-rounded pro

Developed by highly esteemed creative media industries professionals, this course mixes theoretical and practical learning, and encourages you to use your significant industry experience to help you gain a postgraduate qualification. Professional development is at the heart of this programme, with real-world industry collaboration encouraged across every module. You’ll also regularly join forces with your fellow professional practice degree students online to help bring each other’s creative projects to life.

At the end of each trimester, you’ll take part in an online conference along with the rest of your creative industries masters student cohort – a programme which highlights student research outcomes and peer feedback, while fostering engagement and community building. Across the course, you’ll be expected to present your own professional development and research findings as you progress towards your Major Project.
