MA Magazine Practice

This is a newsroom for print and digital magazines: commissioning, editing long copy, rights, and the flatplan. Warsaw's independent press is the reference, not a placement you are promised. You leave with one issue you edited, including the picture rights.

MA Magazine Practice is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 18 months, and the credit total is 36. Students move from Commissioning through Commissioning; Editing long copy; Flatplan; Rights and pictures; Circulation and audience; One issue, and finish on One issue.

Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students apply the method of the subject to a defined problem and defend the result. Reading is a core text, a case or dataset, and a critique. The artefact a marker expects is a submission that shows the method, the evidence, and the limit of the claim.

The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Commission a feature with a brief Edit 2,000 words to a brief Build a flatplan

Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass.

The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.

The credit total on this page is the sum of the courses in the curriculum. Assessment is the work named on each course.
