Master of Arts - Publishing and Book Culture (Q3RS)

Bangor University

The Master of Arts in Publishing and Book Culture course has been designed for students wanting to become professional publishers of printed pages and digital texts - making creative and business decisions informed by knowledge and experience of the culture, history, technology, and social impact of the book.

Through this course, students will develop a broad knowledge and understanding of the processes by which books are produced; the shape of the book publishing industry; the economic and cultural forces that define it; and ,the role that digital and other innovations play.

Students will gain practical, hands-on experience in the production of print and digital books, taking texts from acquisition through to marketing and distribution. They will also examine how books acquire value as objects of desire, as objects of entertainment and culture, and as objects for the development and dissemination of knowledge and information.
