The BA / BA (Hons) Creative Enterprise course offers a rigorously designed curriculum founded on the knowledge and skills necessary to establish a sustainable freelance career within the creative industries. The course is aimed at current HND students undertaking a range of creative practice HNDs (or equivalent) who now wish to complement their creative production skills with the entrepreneurial knowledge required to turn those creative skills into a sustainable career. Throughout the programme students will engage with learning experiences that will place their own knowledge, practice and understanding in a local, national and international context, but always focused on their application towards the establishment of a new creative business – the formal launch of which will mark the culmination of their degree.
