The world needs humanity
A journalist can bring hidden topics to the light. A screen artist can open up our minds, and our emotions. And an artist can provide us with a unique immersive experience.
Professionals in creative arts and communications help people to gain new perspectives and discover new understandings. From screen arts to journalism to digital design, you can use your imagination and skills to explore and reflect the human experience, and capture hearts and minds.

What stuck out was the practicality of the course. We could publish news stories with the Western
Independent. We worked a lot on camera and had to organise talent and then build contact books.
All of this stuff is crucial to being a journalist, but you don’t get that at many other universities.
