2012-13 Core Structure and Optional Modules information
The MA Cultural and Creative Industries (MA CCI) requires students to take three compulsory taught modules (each worth 20 credits), a compulsory dissertation (worth 60 credits), and three optional modules (each worth 20 credits). Students thus accumulate the necessary 180 credits to pass the degree.
Normally part-time students would take the core taught modules and one optional module in year one and the two remaining optional modules and dissertation in year two. This should be discussed with the Course Director to take account of individual circumstances.

Please note
Not all options will be available every year, and not all options will run if there is insufficient demand. In order to keep class sizes small, enrolment in all options is limited and so first choices cannot be guaranteed. Entry into the internship module is selective as it involves a large level of commitment and makes greater overall demands on students’ time than do the 20 credit taught options. Finally, it may be possible to take certain MA modules in programmes and departments outside the MA CCI but which still count towards the degree.
