Course summary

This course is currently taught by Confetti, but from September 2025 will be taught by the Nottingham School of Art & Design (NSA&D). Course content and learning outcomes will not change. Join us on our BA Content Creation course in Nottingham and learn the skills to develop content marketing strategies, and craft compelling content across a huge variety of industries and content types. In an age of digital transformation, the world of work has undergone a significant shift. Traditional career paths are evolving, and new job opportunities are emerging at an unprecedented rate. One of the most remarkable developments? The rise of content creator jobs. From social media influencers and YouTubers to bloggers and podcasters, content creators are now a driving force in the global job market. You’ll work on the strategy behind content creation, developing a deep understanding of your target audience and proficiency in effective communication. You’ll learn the art of reading briefs and delivering persuasive pitches and social media strategies to clients. Crucially, you’ll also master the skill of data analysis – understanding how to shift your campaigns to deliver results.

Entry requirements

Qualification requirements

A lower offer may be made based on a range of factors, including your background (such as where you live and the school or college you attended), your experiences and individual circumstances (you may have been in care, for example). This is called a contextual offer and we get data from UCAS to make these decisions. NTU offers a student experience like no other, and this approach helps us to find students who have the potential to succeed here, but may have faced barriers that can make it more difficult to access university. We also consider equivalent qualifications and combinations. Please contact Nottingham Trent University Admissions team for further information.
