- Visual arts and artistic production

Possible Job Roles
Depending on their option, practical experience and professional development, graduates may work as artists, performers, actors, music practitioners, production assistants, creative content developers, film production workers, arts administrators and in other related creative roles.
The exact position a graduate takes will depend on the area studied and the skills developed during and after university.
Transferable Skills
Creative Arts can also provide skills that are useful beyond conventional artistic occupations. Communication, teamwork, creativity, presentation, project planning and the ability to develop ideas can be valuable in many work environments.
Building Experience While Studying
Students can strengthen their career prospects by taking part in productions, exhibitions, performances, music projects, film projects, creative events and other practical activities. Building a portfolio can also help demonstrate what a graduate can actually produce.

Graduates may continue their education in areas connected with their particular interest, such as visual arts, music, theatre, film, creative arts, cultural studies, media or related disciplines, depending on the entry requirements of the postgraduate programme.
The broad nature of Creative Arts means that graduates can develop different professional directions rather than being restricted to one occupation.
