About us

The School of the Arts, English and Media is unique in its approach to creative education and research.

Our courses are designed to foster experimentation, critical thinking, artistic excellence and professionalism. Students are enabled to become experts in their craft while exploring new technologies and collaborating across disciplines.  We provide transformative educational experiences that equip students to perform at their best in the world of the creative arts and industries. 

Our research is driven by a passion for understanding and shaping the role of creativity and media in our changing world. We investigate the intersections of creative arts, literary studies, communication and media, challenging the status quo and contributing to the development of thriving communities. By partnering with industry and community organisations, we ensure that our research has real-world impact and contributes to the growth of the creative and cultural sector.

We are committed to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment that celebrates diversity and encourages lifelong learning. Whether you are a prospective student, researcher, or industry partner, we invite you to join us and be part of shaping the future of the creative and cultural sector.

The course as a whole is really community orientated, not just in my own year groups but those before me and after me. I love putting on two productions a year, developing my acting skills, and creating new friendships. Alice Harding Bachelor of Performance and Theatre 2023
