Cultural and Media Policy Studies News and Events

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.

The Centre for Cultural Policy Studies will again this year offer a limited number of fees-only scholarships for UK/EU candidates. The scholarships are available for each of the three MA courses offered;

• MA in European Cultural Policy and Management
• MA in Creative and Media Enterprises
• MA in International Design and Communication Management
