Cardiff School of Creative & Cultural industries
At the Cardiff School of Creative & Cultural Industries, we produce the creative practitioners and creative entrepreneurs of the future. 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.
If you choose one of our exciting courses, you will study at our contemporary ATRiuM campus located right in the heart of Cardiff. 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. Students at the Cardiff School of Creative & Cultural Industries can also apply to take part in our exchange programmes in one of our partner institutions in Canada, Australia or the USA.
Glamorgan students and graduates have received many awards and accolades, from the Ffresh awards to the Royal Society of Arts. If you study Journalism, you will be joining a course that has been awarded full accreditation from the Broadcast Journalism Training Council, while our Music and Sound Technology degrees are accredited by JAMES on behalf of the Association of Professional Recording Services, UK-Screen and the Music Producers Guild. We also have partnerships with Apple UK, Hewlett Packard, BBC Wales, S4C and Sony.
Cardiff has a reputation as a creative capital city associated with media and culture. Its vibrant cultural scene ranges from small, independent galleries and a thriving live music scene, to television productions such as Doctor Who and Torchwood at the new BBC Wales Drama Village, to major international productions at the Wales Millennium Centre. If you want to immerse yourself in the creative and cultural industries, get work experience or even start performing or running your own practice, there are plenty of opportunities waiting for you – why not pay us a visit and see for yourself?

You will complete a dissertation on a topic of your choice in your final year and choose modules that match your interests allowing you to develop your own specialisms.
Many of the teaching team on this award have extensive professional experience in the media, and our research was recognised as world-leading in the latest Research Assessment Exercise (RAE2008).
Our new degree in Media, Culture and Journalism, which has been

2011 entry.
Media, CuLture and JOurnaLiSM Ba (Hons)
You will develop critical skills in researching, writing and communication. Although the emphasis will be on a theoretical engagement with the media, students have the chance to develop their practical skills in specific areas. As a result of this mix, graduates from this course have in-depth subject knowledge and strong analytical skills that are valued in the media.
In the first year, key themes are introduced through studying the practices and theory of media forms including newspapers, popular music, television, social media and the internet and a variety of practical media production skills. In the second year, you will explore the relationship between media and audiences, the power of social media and media institutions and international media.
You will complete a dissertation on a topic of your choice in your final year and choose modules that match your interests allowing you to develop your own specialisms.
Many of the teaching team on this award have extensive professional experience in the media, and our research was recognised as world-leading in the latest Research Assessment Exercise (RAE2008).
Our new degree in Media, Culture and Journalism, which has been
built upon our recognised BA Media Communications award, focuses
on the relationship between the media, and society, its political
significance, and its role in understanding who we are.

a Great Student experience
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.
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.
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.

Cyfleoedd dwyieithog a Chyfrwng Cymraeg yr atriuMMae’r ATRiuM yn adeilad arloesol ac yn gartref i Gyfadran unigryw ac arbennig. Yn wir, mae
Ysgol y Diwydiannau Creadigol a Diwylliannol Caerdydd y Brifysgol yn ymfalchïo yn y ffaith ei
bod yn un o’r cyfadrannau cyntaf o’i fath yn y DU, yn cynnig adnoddau modern a safonol i’w
myfyrwyr, ar flaen y gad o safbwynt cynnwys ei chyrsiau ac yn arbennig o ran ei darpariaeth
ddwyieithog / cyfrwng Cymraeg.
Welsh – it can make a differenceThroughout this brochure, we refer to the bilingual opportunities available to students at the Cardiff School of Creative & Cultural Industries who speak Welsh and English. Students can study some elements of their course in Welsh and English, and are encouraged to take advantage of this to develop their skills in both languages.
The University is committed to providing opportunities and supporting fluent and second language students to enhance their linguistic abilities. We also provide opportunities for non-Welsh speakers who want to learn the language through free modules at the University’s Welsh Department.

Ethos a chred adrannau Ysgol y Diwydiannau Creadigol a Diwylliannol Caerdydd yw cynnig darpariaeth cyfrwng Cymraeg i unrhyw fyfyriwr sydd yn dymuno datblygu a hogi eu sgiliau cyfrwng Cymraeg ym meysydd drama, cyfryngau a cherddoriaeth. Gall myfyrwyr y meysydd hyn fanteisio ar y cyfle i ddilyn cynllun gradd ddwyieithog Drama (Theatr a’r Cyfryngau), Cynhyrchu’r Cyfryngau, Technoleg Cerddoriaeth, Technoleg Sain neu Gerddoriaeth Boblogaidd.
Mae pob un o’r adrannau hyn yn cynnig modiwlau sy’n caniatáu i fyfyriwr ddilyn cynllun dwyieithog – neu gall myfyrwyr ystyried y cyfle i wneud un neu ddau fodiwl yn unig. Gall myfyrwyr ddewis yn ôl eu hanghenion a’u dyheadau personol nhw. Mae’r llwybrau dwyieithog o fewn y meysydd yn dilyn yr un cynnwys a fformat â’r cyrsiau Saesneg, ond cynigir rhai elfennau pellach yn benodol trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg hefyd. Darperir cyfleoedd hefyd o fewn Dylunio a Chyfathrebu. Darperir fwy o wybodaeth ar ein gwefan.
Cynigir cyfleoedd dwyieithog a chyfrwng Cymraeg gan y Gyfadran yn y meysydd hyn am fod y rhain yn feysydd sy’n esblygu ac yn datblygu yng nghymru yn ddyddiol. Bydd galw am arbenigwyr sy’n meddu ar y sgiliau i weithio yn y sectorau hyn drwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg a’r Saesneg yn y dyfodol. I wybod mwy am y cyfleoedd hyn, anogir myfyrwyr i gysylltu â’r Brifysgol i dderbyn llawlyfr cyfrwng Cymraeg a dwyieithog yr ATRiuM, drwy e-bostio [email protected].
Mae gan y Gyfadran bwynt cyswllt ym mhob adran, sydd yn medru trafod materion fel ymgeisio, cyrsiau a gwybodaeth gyffredinol am yr ATRiuM gyda darpar fyfyrwyr. Am ragor o wybodaeth, e-bostia [email protected].

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.
tuition fees
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.
i normally live elsewhere in the UK – how much will i pay?
Full-time students from England, Scotland and northern Ireland will need to meet their tuition fees in full. In most cases, this can be done by taking out a Tuition Fee Loan from the Student Loans Company. If you have to pay your tuition fees in full, see opposite for details of our Centenary Bursary that will help with your first year’s accommodation and help with living costs for the rest of your course.
