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.
4.3The module combines theoretical approaches to enterprise and entrepreneurship with application to a specific situation in which you will choose one of two options: (a) to develop a feasibility study for an existing or new creative venture or (b) to work in a small team to solve a strategic organisational or management problem or respond to an opportunity presented by a cultural organisation.
On this module you will gain the theoretical and methodological knowledge that will enable you to carry out an independent piece of research in the field of Performance and Cultural Industries.
This module provides you with the theoretical understanding that underpins the course. You will evaluate and analyse in depth different theoretical perspectives on a range of areas within the cultural industries.
