sector in Europe. The theatre, film and
media industries make a key
contribution to the UK economy, and
enrich the lives of us all.
The creative industries are a
key focus for the Scottish Government that
recognises their considerable potential
for further growth. Higher education plays
an important role in producing the creative
talent, skills and ideas that are sought by
both this sector and a wide range of
employers beyond it.

Our theatre, film and media courses
prepare you for entry to the creative
industries and the many related
opportunities outside of that sector. All of
our courses will provide you with the
specialist knowledge, working practices,
and high-level communication skills that
employers look for in graduates.
While each course has its own specific
emphasis, they all provide you with a
comprehensive understanding of critical
approaches to the film, media and
theatre industries and their outputs, with
a particular emphasis on aesthetic and
cultural analysis. They focus on theatre,
film and media as central forces in the
construction of public culture, in the
creation of new expressive forms, as the
basis for a range of professional
practices, and in shaping everyday social
and psychological life.
