Department of Creative Industries
The Department of Creative Industries trains the next generation of creative producers, makers and entrepreneurs; people who can move fluently across film, television, drama, and digital media, and who graduate ready to thrive in industries where disciplinary boundaries are increasingly fluid.
We bring together rigorous academic grounding with serious industry practice. Our staff are experts in their fields, and active creative practitioners, with award-winning writers, directors and filmmakers part of our team, who are connected to local, national and global communities of practice and industry.
In Birmingham, we sit at the heart of one of the UK's fastest-growing creative clusters, with deep links to Digbeth's screen sector and the region's immersive and CreaTech ecosystem. What sets our graduates apart is breadth with depth: creative inter-disciplinarians who hold academic rigour and craft expertise in the same hand, at ease in a sector where traditional disciplines are evolving into something new.
