Cultural and Media Policy Studies News and Events

The MA course in Creative and Media Enterprises is designed to enable students to turn creative ideas into a successful business and develop the necessary skills and knowledge to work within the creative sector. With £15,000 of venture capital money in the bank, former student, Ed Chappel, is well on the way to doing both as he sets up the UK's first Musical Comedy Awards. 

Sholeh Johnston, a current student on the MA Creative and Media Enteprises, has set up PENCILFest, the UK’s first National Student Writers' Festival, which runs Saturday 10^th and Sunday 11^th May 2008.

Sholeh, who is a graduate of the Warwick Writing Programme, recognised a gap and decided to set up an event 'created by young writers for young writers.'

The Centre for Cultural Policy Studies has moved from the Humanities Building into brand new premises on campus; 'Millburn House'. Millburn House is already home to the rest of the School of Theatre, Performance and Cultural Policy Studies, History of Art, the Writers Centre and the CAPITAL Centre. The CAPITAL Centre is a partnership between the University of Warwick and the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC). We will also be joined by the Department of Film and Television Studies in the coming year. Millburn House is thus set to become a hub for many of the creative departments within the University and will create numerous opportunities for collaborations and cross-fertilisation between them.
