MA Creative Enterprise, alongside MA Design & Strategy and MA Innovation & Brand Management, forms one of three specialist postgraduate awards that are designed to close the gap between traditional design education and management. Teaching occurs alongside the other courses in this group, giving you the opportunity to study a combined curriculum that will significantly improve your professional and managerial capabilities within your chosen industry.
Creativity is a critical issue in today's business environment. As the globalisation of markets continues and competition increases, the value of creativity in generating significant competitive advantage has become clear. The MA in Creative Enterprise is designed to provide you with the necessary theoretical and practical knowledge required to start up, develop and manage organisations that have creativity and innovation at their core.
