Dean: Professor Peter Robertson

Specifically designed to nurture innovative and creative talent, the Cardiff School of Creative & Cultural Industries encompasses the rich diversity of the creative industries in the UK.

Our students have the opportunity to work with leading academics and practitioners in an interdisciplinary environment, to produce novel ideas and challenging concepts. There is a range of research activity across the Faculty, from traditional academic research to practice-led research and enterprise. The Faculty promotes a calendar of research activities and has a growing portfolio of partnerships with industry and other external partners. We have developed a vibrant, cross-disciplinary research culture that offers a supportive environment for everyone involved in research activity. This underpins the learning and teaching agenda throughout the Faculty, and encourages engagement with the wider academic community, industry, business, public sector and local communities.

Perhaps you already work in the creative and cultural industries and want to develop your skills in a specific area, or maybe you are a graduate who wants to become a specialist before entering this exciting sector? You might even be interested in researching an aspect of creativity or the cultural industries. If so, you can choose from our taught courses that will develop your ideas and skills, or register for a Masters by Research, MPhil or PhD in areas such as design, film, TV, radio, drama, interactive media, animation, popular music, or sound and music technology.

As a postgraduate student, you will get to study at our ATRiuM campus, right at the heart of Cardiff and Wales' burgeoning media and arts scene. This facility serves as a multifunctional, multidisciplinary centre for over 2,000 students. We pride ourselves on being an integrated, leading-edge facility that promotes a sense of community and identity, while enhancing profile and reputation.

This purpose-built campus has constantly evolving facilities, with the latest industry-standard technologies for you to interpret and adapt your creative ideas. We have everything our creative students could want under one roof; video and editing facilities, a 170-seat auditorium/ theatre, a three-camera television production studio with HD capabilities, and a fully functioning radio station. Students even have professional CGI facilities on campus, with a render farm for the creation, experimentation and development of computer generated images and special effects for digital animation, computer games, television and film production. We've got excellent links with the rapidly growing number of creative and cultural businesses in Wales, so programmes stay relevant to industry trends.
