Culture and creativity play a fundamental role in the development of individuals, societies, and economies worldwide. On this course you'll examine the contested concepts of culture and creativity, and how policy makers, cultural organisations, and creative entrepreneurs are operating in contemporary cultures and economies on a global scale.
You'll explore how organisations across the arts, cultural and creative sectors work in theory and practice, as well as the impact they can have on individuals and communities. You'll have the opportunity to examine the relationship between the cultural and creative industries and the arts, and explore how the cultural sector is managed by policy makers, cultural organisations, and creative entrepreneurs.
Working collaboratively on an entrepreneurial project, you'll have the opportunity to gain insight into the business models of local creative and cultural organisations.
You'll also devise and carry out an independent research project into an aspect of culture, creativity and/or entrepreneurship, investigating a topic of interest to you.
Throughout, you will learn from researchers with extensive industry experience and have the freedom to investigate areas of personal and professional interest.
Rooted in cultural theory and analysis of the contemporary cultural and creative industries, the course is designed for those who have previously studied courses related to cultural studies, social sciences, arts management or creative industries.
