Overview
Intro
The Cultural and Critical Theory course offered by University of Brighton, offers three distinct pathways:
- Aesthetics and Cultural Theory
- Globalisation, Politics and Culture
- Philosophy and Critical Theory
All pathways provide for the development of an advanced understanding of specialist areas in cultural and critical theory, and effective preparation for doctoral research.
The core course, delivered during the autumn and spring terms, is complemented by a research methods module and two elective modules that offer opportunities for study across the range of humanities provision.
Careers
About a third of graduates from the Cultural and Critical Theory MA go on to PhD study, equipped with advanced research skills and specialist knowledge of their subject area. Others start or continue work as museum or gallery curators, in arts administration, journalism, social work, education or politics.
