Master of Arts - Storytelling

Loughborough University's Master of Arts in Storytelling is an innovative new Master's program which takes storytelling as a creative practice, with the storytelling practitioner at its core. The focus of the program is on Applied Storytelling, which is the use and application of storytelling within contexts of community-building, personal and professional development, and policy formation. It builds on the school's international reputation for research in Applied Storytelling relating to areas of health, the environment, education and social justice and offers students the opportunity to develop as storytelling practitioners and work alongside researchers on existing projects in the United Kingdom and overseas. The Storytelling course is taught through the Storytelling Academy in the School of Design and Creative Arts at Loughborough and is suitable for anyone wishing to develop their own storytelling practice. The course will bring together students with an exciting and diverse range of experiences of areas such as storytelling, performance, art, writing, teaching and education, heritage and museum work, journalism, healthcare, NGO and international development work and community programme management, among many others.
