About Global Creative and Cultural Industries, MA - at SOAS University of London
The MA Global Creative and Cultural Industries programme offers the unique opportunity to critically analyse developments in a fully global context, across the full range of School of Arts modules in Media, Music and Art and Archaeology. Over the past decades the creative and cultural industries have become the focus of a huge amount of research and critical debate. As digitisation transforms the media industries, from music streaming to on-demand TV, there has been an increasing recognition of the economic and cultural value of art, museums, video games and 'heritage'.
The MA Global Creative and Cultural Industries programme will suit different types of students:
- those interested in pursuing careers as practitioners, managers, consultants, policy advisers and entrepreneurs in the creative and cultural industries in Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, Asia and Africa. Such students will typically take advantage of the potentials to hone practical/core skills, to develop their knowledge base about creative and cultural industries in a global context, and to maximise the 'Directed Study in Industry' opportunity.
- students more concerned with developing academic research in the creative and cultural sectors, and the intersections between industry, cultural policy and international development. Such students will most likely concentrate their programme of study on the regional and theoretical courses available.
