Our MA in Creative Practice aims to give you the tools and techniques to feed your creativity and put it to work practically and innovatively in partnership with organisations, communities and the public. You’ll learn how to develop ideas with participants, engaging, informing and inspiring them through creative work.
Aimed at creative practitioners, recent graduates and professionals, it is designed to prepare you to develop collaborative creative arts projects or research, raising your awareness of likely cultural, technological, social, legal and political considerations, while strengthening your own creative practice.
One of the major strengths of this course is the sheer breadth of our faculty’s experience in arts-based participatory research, not to mention our excellent links with arts organisations, such as the British Ceramics Biennial and New Vic Theatre, through Keele Deal Culture and coCreate. You will learn how to fuse different artistic practices, or tailor your own medium or genre to the needs of your collaborators.

Career prospects
Whether your goal is to become a self-employed artist, engage in public arts projects or follow a broader path in arts administration, heritage or curation, our MA Creative Practice could open doors to creative and cultural networks across the globe.
The multi- and transdisciplinary nature of our course deliberately reflects the variety of the world’s creative industry, enabling you to study applied theory and practice across a range of creative mediums, from crafts and culture to publishing or performance art, and the many different ways to encourage audiences to engage with them.
There are 3.2 million people employed in the wider creative economy in the UK alone, representing 9.6 per cent of all jobs, according to figures published by the Creative Industries Council in 2021. Depending on your interests, you could pursue a career as an artist, performer, composer or creative, or focus on careers which support or promote creative practice, for example, in marketing, publicity, consultancy and teaching.
Taking your studies to postgraduate level develops a range of personal and professional skills, including clear and critical thinking, originality, problem-solving, innovative questioning and, of course, excellent communication. Much sought-after by employers, these skills can open doors to a wide range of careers from teaching to management consulting. Alternatively, you may also consider further study at doctorate level.
