Programme specification:

The creative industries are an increasingly important component of the global economy and comprise sectors that we engage with every day. Around the world they pose opportunities for enterprise and entrepreneurship, for self-expression and meaningful work, and vibrant cities and communities. These sectors also pose challenges, such as how to ensure effective management and marketing, articulate the value of cultural expression, understand audiences or navigate rapidly evolving digital worlds. These challenges are necessarily multi-disciplinary and require future graduates that are critical, reflexive, and able to draw on, and engage with, diverse theoretical and practical fields.

This programme will equip students with the skills to face these challenges. It draws on expertise from four academic schools that are home to world leading academics, researchers and practitioners working across a range of disciplines with and across the creative industries. A range of partnerships are also being developed to allow students to work alongside peers in other global contexts, and with creative organisations and professionals across the Leeds City Region and beyond.

Core modules will cover the development of Global Creative Industries, through engagement with case studies and real world briefs, linked to rigorous academic debates. This programme is also uniquely able to offer optional pathways that explore the Creative Industries through Marketing and Audiences, Enterprise and Management, and Policy and Politics. These are offered alongside an extensive range of additional optional modules that allow students to tailor the programme to their interests.

Students will be equipped with the critical skills necessary to respond to the dynamic Creative Industries sectors: they will be able to recognise new opportunities, and how to identify and then research answers to the emerging questions that will shape creative organisations.

Our graduates will be the creative leaders of a vibrant sector – professionally engaged, critically informed and ethically aware.
