Program details

Overview

Run by Bahrain Polytechnic's School of Creative Media, this one-year MA in Creative Media and Design, coded CMD9000, sits at the institution's Level 9 tier and totals 180 credits. The award builds on undergraduate creative-media training to push students toward advanced, independent practice across the school's design and media disciplines, completed by finishing the courses set out in the programme's schedule and meeting Bahrain Polytechnic's broader postgraduate requirements. Getting in calls for a relevant bachelor's degree and a GPA of at least 2.5 out of 4.0, though a 2.25 GPA can still be accepted alongside two years of industry experience; English is proven through an IELTS score of 6.0 or an equivalent route, and every applicant submits a digital portfolio and sits an interview before being offered a place. The qualification targets international students and professionals already working in Bahrain's creative-media sector who want a formal postgraduate credential.
