BSc (Hons) Fashion Management and Strategy
Fashion design covers the making of garments and collections: research and concept development, drawing, pattern cutting, fabric choice and construction. It is about moving an idea from sketch to finished piece while keeping the person who will wear it in mind. Graduates often work in design studios, product development, styling, buying and their own labels.
BA (Hons) Media, Marketing and Advertising
Media studies and communication analyse how messages are produced, circulated and understood across journalism, broadcasting, advertising, film and digital platforms. Students examine audiences, institutions and the making of meaning, alongside practical production skills. Graduates frequently work in content creation, public relations, marketing communication, media planning, research and cultural organisations.
BA (Hons) Make-up, Hair and Prosthetics
Design is about shaping objects, images, spaces and experiences so they work well for the people who use them. Studio practice, sketching, prototyping and critique sit alongside research into users, materials and context. Graduates often work in studios and agencies, in-house creative teams, or independently across many industries.
BA (Hons) Games Narrative
Game design is about the rules, systems and feedback that make play engaging: what the player can do, what pushes back, and how difficulty and story unfold. Prototyping and testing with real players drive the work, alongside level design and narrative. Graduates often work in game studios, interactive media and simulation.
BA (Hons) Content Creation with Marketing
Marketing studies how organisations understand customers and bring products and services to them, spanning research, branding, pricing, distribution, advertising and digital channels. The work blends creative thinking with data about behaviour. Graduates often work in brand and product management, digital marketing, market research, advertising, and sales or communications.
BA (Hons) Business of Games
Business examines how organisations are created, financed, run and grown, from managing people and money to reading markets and making decisions under uncertainty. Coursework blends analysis with practical judgement. Graduates often move into management, consulting and entrepreneurship, or into specialist roles across finance, operations and marketing.
BA/BSc (Hons) Arts, Media and Creative Industries Management
Arts administration deals with the running of cultural organisations: budgets, fundraising, programming, marketing, audiences and staff. Students learn management and finance while also thinking about artistic value and public access. Graduates often work in theatres, galleries, museums, festivals, orchestras, cultural policy and creative agencies.
MA Fine Art
Fine arts centres on making work — painting, drawing, sculpture, print and other media — and on developing a personal visual language through sustained studio practice. Critique, art history and exhibition skills shape how artists think about their own output. Graduates often become practising artists, or work in galleries, teaching and the creative industries.
BA (Hons) Photography
Photography combines visual storytelling with the technical craft of light, lenses and post-production. Students develop a personal body of work while learning composition, editing workflows and how images carry meaning for different audiences. Graduates often work in commercial, editorial, documentary or fine-art photography, and in wider visual content roles.
BA (Hons) Modelmaking
Media studies and communication analyse how messages are produced, circulated and understood across journalism, broadcasting, advertising, film and digital platforms. Students examine audiences, institutions and the making of meaning, alongside practical production skills. Graduates frequently work in content creation, public relations, marketing communication, media planning, research and cultural organisations.
BA (Hons) Make-Up for Media and Performance
Media studies and communication analyse how messages are produced, circulated and understood across journalism, broadcasting, advertising, film and digital platforms.

Graduates frequently work in content creation, public relations, marketing communication, media planning, research and cultural organisations.
BA (Hons) Interior Architecture and Design
Interior design shapes the inside of buildings — light, materials, circulation, furniture and atmosphere — so that spaces work for the people who use them. Students develop drawing, modelling and specification skills alongside an understanding of construction, accessibility and cost. Graduates often work in design studios, architecture practices, retail, hospitality and exhibition design.
BA (Hons) Illustration
Sculpture works with physical form and material: carving, casting, welding, modelling, installation and found objects. Students develop technical skill in a workshop setting alongside an understanding of space, scale, site and the history of made things. Graduates often sustain their own practice, or work in fabrication, public art, teaching and galleries.
