The course is taught by world-renowned academics from two highly ranked University of Southampton schools – Winchester School of Art and Politics and International Relations. In addition, external speakers from arts, cultural, policy and political organisations will bring their insights to the course and help you to build networks for the future. You will graduate with in-depth knowledge, finely tuned intellectual and critical skills and a fresh approach to current issues forged by cross-disciplinary study. These skills and qualities will be sought after in a range of sectors where cultural politics has emerged as an area of critical importance, such as arts and culture, local and central government, politics and campaigning, and the media. The MA Cultural Politics will be of interest to intellectually curious students from a broad range of arts and humanities, political and social sciences disciplines, as well as artists and professionals in the cultural, political, policy and media sectors. Assessment methods vary between modules, but will include written assignments, presentations and a dissertation. Potential career destinations include roles in the arts and policy worlds, cultural organisations, government, the voluntary sector, trade unions, political or campaigning organisations or journalism and other media industries. This degree is also an excellent foundation for PhD research.
