About the School

The School of Humanities and Cultural Industries combines traditional academic subjects with the latest creative practice and live, outward-facing projects. 

The UK has world-leading cultural industries, and those industries need graduates who can work creatively and collaboratively using a range of writing, research, and digital skills. 

Our students get the opportunity to work with Bath Festivals, local museums, the National Trust, XmediLab and many other national and international organisations. This ensures that graduates are work-ready and able to contribute to the creative and cultural industries in a meaningful way.  Using our state-of-the-art Publishing and Broadcast Labs we offer short courses, consultancy, skills-training, and collaboration as well as degree programmes and research. 

The strength of our research base has been recognised by a range of new professorial appointments, including ten in the field of Creative Writing.
