Course Introduction
This course consists of a flexible range of postgraduate short courses that have been developed by Skillset (the Sector Skills Council for Creative Media) and the School of Computing, Informatics and Media as part of the network of English Skillset Media Academies.
It aims to meet the professional development needs of media practitioners, and therefore develop your future prospects, by offering courses in specific media areas delivered in ways that suit people in a variety of different roles.
The programme is intended to provide you with a systematic understanding and a critical awareness of current knowledge within the industry and of issues and opportunities at the forefront of contemporary media practice, and equip you with the intellectual tools, understandings and techniques to deal with complex issues in order to improve your working practices, and where appropriate, the performance of your companies. You will be encouraged to develop self-direction and originality in tackling and solving professional work-based problems, and develop effective leadership where appropriate while developing the qualities and skills necessary for decision making in complex and unpredictable situations.
You will be able to select courses from the range within the portfolio on offer and have credits gained transferred to, and accepted by, any of the participating Media Academies. In essence, the design enables you to build your own postgraduate programme.
