MA Creative Innovation and Entrepreneurship

To thrive in a disrupted world you will need commercial acumen to realise your creative ambitions. The MA in Creative Innovation and Entrepreneurship will teach you how to apply your existing creative practice to real-world business challenges. For example:

• Starting up your career and ideas in a professional-supported environment,
• Undertaking applied commercial projects in collaborative teams,
• Learning human-centred techniques for designing and developing ideas of real value.

We welcome students from any creative, arts, or humanities discipline or background who are thinking about building a career out of their practice either in existing organisations or startups.

This programme shares much of its teaching with our other Innovation and Entrepreneurship programmes (MSc and MA) but has a specific focus on the creative industries and creative entrepreneurship.

You will develop the high-level skills and critical competencies needed for successful organisational innovation and entrepreneurship, through a largely practice-orientated educational approach based on collaborative teamwork across disciplines and cultures.

During the programme, you will get opportunities to work alongside creative businesses and agencies to develop a deep understanding of their opportunities and challenges.
