Postgraduate Certificate MA / MSc Creative Industries Futures Postgraduate Certificate in Creative Industries Futures

It enables industry professionals, graduates, academics and creatives to construct a space for knowledge exchange that spans the boundaries of academic, professional, cultural, socio-economic, ethical, and pedagogical practices.

At the heart of our course is the desire to embed industry professional practice and frameworks that allow you to develop as an industry professional and recognise and map all of the skills that you gain through your experiences.

The structure of our course provides the opportunity to explore, analyse, critically review, innovate, incubate, and distribute information about your role within the creative industries.

A Tailored Learning Journey

Whether you are currently working, a self-employed professional or a recent graduate, by studying on our Postgraduate Certificate Programme, you will have the opportunity to review, improve and benchmark your current level of professional knowledge and skills, using a relevant professional framework, with the support of a peer learning community.

Throughout your time on the course, your tutors will help you develop the tools needed to evidence your consistent high level of creative practice or enterprise, deepening your self-awareness and critical reflective practice.

Everyone is bound to discover gaps in their knowledge and skills, and you will assess your own skillset and use this to engage in continuing professional development throughout your time on the course. This includes the opportunity to engage in peer-to-peer learning, collaborative projects and exchanging ideas, experiences and thought leadership with a peer group of senior academics, professionals and graduates.
