The courses in our Faculty will prepare you for the fast moving, global creative industries sector. We offer a diverse range of programmes and interdisciplinary courses for the creative industries sector that focus on high growth digital media, from concept development to post-production, and market distribution. You can choose from over 40 courses that reflect the spectrum of this field – drama, film, journalism and radio broadcasting, media communication, fashion design and promotion, music and sound technology, animation, special effects and graphic communication. Within this dynamic environment, you will work alongside performing artists, musicians, designers, media technologists, producers and directors to create the design icons, media productions and digital entertainment of the future. This approach encourages collaboration across disciplines, so by the time you graduate, not only will you have a strong knowledge of your chosen field, but also a broad cultural understanding of the creative industries.

A hub of creative research and enterprise, this purpose-built campus has constantly evolving facilities with the latest industry-standard technologies for you to interpret and adapt your creative ideas. We have everything our creative students could want under one roof; video and editing facilities, a 170-seat auditorium/theatre, a three-camera television production studio with full HD capabilities, and a fully functioning radio station. Students even have professional CGI facilities on campus, with a render farm for the creation, experimentation and development of computer generated images and special effects for digital animation, computer games, television and film production.

With all courses at the University of Glamorgan, you can be sure you will gain the skills for the career you want. Our courses are designed to match future industry trends, so they are relevant to the real world. We also consult employers and practitioners, who make up our pool of Visiting Professors, so what you learn through guest lectures, masterclasses and project work will be what is required by industry. These excellent links with employers also mean we can offer fantastic work experience and live project opportunities, many of which lead to employment for our graduates.

A Great Student Experience From independent living to vibrant nightlife, adrenaline sports to chill out time – whatever you want from student life, you will find it all at the Cardiff School of Creative & Cultural Industries. Ideally situated in the heart of the city, our ATRiuM building offers the benefits of a campus university in the surrounds of a thriving city. Living close to campus is the perfect introduction to living away from home and we have student accommodation directly opposite the ATRiuM campus, as well as in other locations around the city centre. The cost of your accommodation includes utilities and fast-speed internet access, so you don’t need to worry about bills landing on your doormat. We have a Students’ Union building on site too, so you will get to meet lots of other students. It also means you have a relaxed place designed just for you, serving food and drinks at student prices. Cardiff is a great place to live and study, offering everything you would expect from a capital city. It has a thriving arts scene, with everything from big-budget productions at the Wales Millennium Centre to stand-up comedians at comedy clubs, or foreign language films at Chapter Arts Centre. If live music is your thing, you can catch small gigs by up-and-coming artists at some of our great small venues, check out famous names at Cardiff Motorpoint Arena, or see a living legend at the Millennium Stadium.

Some of the most stunning scenery in Britain is within easy reach of the University and, contrary to what you might have heard, it’s not always raining! You could spend your weekends hiking in the spectacular Brecon Beacons or relaxing on one of the stunning beaches in the Gower Peninsula. Or if you want to stay closer to Cardiff, we have the International Swimming Pool, outdoor and indoor climbing, and sailing in Cardiff Bay. There is also the renowned Taff Trail for mountain biking and walking, which leads from the city centre right to the great outdoors. If you prefer shopping, then Cardiff is ideal. The world’s first Fairtrade capital city, it has Victorian arcades with quirky independent shops, a bustling indoor market and St David’s – a fantastic city centre retail development. All these are just minutes’ walk from our ATRiuM campus. To find out more, come to our Open Day to see for yourself. Visit www.glam.ac.uk/opendays for details and to book your place.

ART and Creative Writing at Treforest We also have Art and Creative Writing courses, which are taught at our Treforest campus in the Faculty of Business and Society. The campus, just 20 minutes from Cardiff, has museum status, allowing students to display their work professionally.

Creative and Professional Writing On this course you will study writing in various genres, from fiction, non-fiction and poetry to media-related subjects such as scriptwriting. The emphasis is on the practice of creative writing. Through a series of practical workshops, our tutors will help you develop your skills and talents as a writer, including the development of professional skills in written communication. You will be taught by experienced and published writers (novelists, poets, short story writers, writers for young people, critics and editors) and we have a programme of visiting writers. Our students also produce their own annual anthology of work. In the 2011 National Student Survey students on this course were 100% satisfied. Our graduates join a wide range of professions, including teaching, journalism, public relations and the civil service. Many of our students have progressed to our postgraduate MPhil in Writing and succeed as writers, most recently Trevor Byrne’s novel, Ghosts and Lightning (Canongate 2009).

Tuition Fees There’s no doubt about it, going to university can be an expensive business. But the benefits you will gain from higher education far outweigh the costs – from the career opportunities that a degree can bring to the lifelong friendships you will form. What fees will the University of Glamorgan charge in 2012-13? The University will charge £9,000 per year for full-time Honours degrees and £7,500 per year for full-time Foundation Degrees. This would be for the normal length of the course and fees may rise each year in line with inflation. Do I have to pay fees up front? No, the good news is that no eligible student has to pay fees up front. If you take out a Tuition Fee Loan from the Student Loans Company, the loan money is paid directly to the University on your behalf. I normally live in Wales – how much will I pay? Most full-time students who normally live in Wales prior to study, will only have to pay £3,465 per year in tuition fees themselves. This can be paid by taking out a Tuition Fee Loan from the Student Loans Company. The remaining fee will be paid by the Welsh Government on behalf of eligible students through the new Tuition Fee Grant. This grant is not means-tested and does not have to be repaid. Please note that the Welsh Government will decide whether you are eligible for this grant when you apply for student support.

That’s why the Cardiff School of Creative & Cultural Industries hosts Open Days throughout the year, so you can see what we have to offer. Our Open Days allow you to explore our fantastic campus to see where you will study, meet some of our current students and talk to the academic staff who will teach you throughout your time here. You can also find out about loads of other things – from the degree courses on offer, accommodation, student funding and scholarships, student welfare and even the UCAS application process. There is definitely something for everyone – for prospective undergraduates thinking of applying to Glamorgan, for parents worried about the next stage in their son’s or daughter’s life, for prospective international students from the EU and beyond, and for mature students. Everyone is welcome and you will find that there are lots of different sessions for you to attend. There are sample workshops for each of our areas, from an introduction to green screen technology to a survey of contemporary animation and game art.
