Take your journalism and media experience to the next level unravelling the distinct management challenges of the media industry.

The UK’s creative industries contribute almost £85 billion per year to the economy and major global economies, such as China and India, are beginning to prioritise the growth of creative industries within their own countries.

This creates a demand for effective media managers with enhanced skills and capabilities to respond to the evolving needs of today’s creative industries.

Our challenge-led modules, based on cross-functional and action-based scenarios typically found in the workplace, will equip you with the skills, knowledge and confidence to be an inspiring leader within the ever-growing creative industries sector.

The business of changing the media is ours. Together we can make a difference.
