Financial Statements 2018/19


Arts and Creative Industries Transforming potential into success


This has been a successful year for the Faculty of Arts and Creative Industries, with industry partnerships, major research projects and showcases of our students’ achievements. The Faculty comprises our Media, Performing Arts, Design and Visual Arts courses.


Improving our portfolio of courses and student support


We cover a breadth of disciplines in a creative environment which is heavily practice-based and contemporary. Nested within a culture of learning, research and professional practice, our portfolio and pedagogy is purposefully aligned to the needs and ambitions of our specific student demographic. Collaboration is a core value for Arts and Creative Industries. In 2018/19, we worked with a range of partners from across the arts, media, industry and business to improve the student learning experience and journey to success, innovating in a way that sets us apart from other parts of the sector.


Our courses


Our leading courses were recognised in the Guardian 2019 University Guide – we were ranked top in London for Film Production and Photography and 3rd in the UK. We enhanced our Undergraduate course portfolio this year, launching Foundation years for English, Creative Writing and Journalism, and a range of our fashion courses. Foundation year entry is now available across our entire Faculty portfolio. We have launched new courses in Dance Performance and Dance Practice, and undertaken a significant review of theatre provision, with two new titles launching in 2020. This year we will continue to update our portfolio of master’s courses,

and have already introduced new Master’s in Classical Music Business and Digital Journalism and a growing portfolio of Professional Practice programmes at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.


We have made improvements to our facilities and in employability – every programme in our Faculty now offers an opportunity for work-based learning. Many of our students go on to work freelance or start their own businesses. We tailor our support to their needs, preparing them for the challenges this can bring. This support is reflected in our placement as top in London in the 2019 Complete University Guide for graduate prospects in Drama, Dance and Cinematics.


Local collaborations


The Royal Air Force Museum, close to our London campus, is one of our important cultural partners. In 2018, to mark one hundred years of the RAF, Middlesex graduates choreographed three dance compositions inspired by wartime letters. They were performed by Dance students and graduates at Remembrance events at the Museum. BA Illustration students also created a graphic novel telling stories about the history of the RAF aerodrome and animation students created moving tales based on letters and artefacts in the collection. We celebrated our collaboration with the RAF Museum in July 2019 when their CEO Maggie Appleton became an Honorary Graduate of Middlesex University.
