Students on our MA Publishing course work directly on live projects to produce industry-standard outputs.
At the start of the year, the group receive client briefs focusing on different aspects of the publishing industry (including editorial, design, marketing). They then form small project teams, assign roles and responsibilities, and liaise with their client to agree a set of deliverables. Students take responsibility for setting all schedules and managing budgets where necessary, and are supported be experts in the field to use industry-standard software when creating and delivering their end products.
The process of working on live projects builds hands-on knowledge and business skills that have a direct impact on future employability.
Please see below for examples of our recent industry collaborations.
