HUM40040 Creative Approaches

Academic Year 2023/2024

In this module students will focus on producing a creative output based on their current academic research, rather than conventional academic essays and assignments. The aim of the course is to introduce students to processes of creativity and creative collaboration, and to encourage the dissemination of research through a wide variety of creative forms. Students will focus on producing a creative output based on their current academic research. Such outputs might include performances, podcasts, exhibitions, music compositions, creative writing, short films or curated events. In this module, students will discover new ways of highlighting the significance of their research to external, non-specialist audiences.

Students will benefit from engagement with, and mentoring by, a number of distinguished artists-in-residence as well as academics with experience of the creative arts and the creative industries. The module will be delivered intensively over two face-to-face full day sessions and supported by supplementary online mentoring sessions

This Creative Futures Academy module is open to Masters and PhD students across the College of Arts and Humanities.
