What this course will give you

Students will learn to initiate a creative enterprise project; to apply creative arts and ethnographic practices to business activities; to think critically about the relationship between ethos and delivery when starting a business; to utilise the skills of effectual entrepreneurship needed to initiate, grow and establish a new enterprise; and to critically assess and reform enterprise activities and their context.

Students learn creative and collaborative practices, and follow customer-funded business models, to provide them with the understanding, critical abilities and skill sets that will enable them to develop innovative, desirable and distinctive new products or services, and to start-up the value-rich, ethos-driven enterprises that will take those products to market and thrive in the contemporary world.

Students have access to a wide range of innovation-focused initiatives and events at UCL including the programmes offered by UCL Innovation & Enterprise. We endeavour to link enterprise development with the ethnographic expertise of the UCL Anthropology department, and connect students with relevant individuals in the creative and start-up networks and communities thriving in London.

This programme is based at our brand new UCL East campus in East London, forming part of the School for Creative and Cultural Industries. Students will benefit from cultural and educational connections with our East Bank partners such as the V&A and BBC, as well as state-of-the-art facilities including exhibition, performance and curating spaces, conservation studios and a 160-seater surround-sound cinema.

Career

The creative sector now accounts for around 10% of the UK's GDP (Creative Industries Council). In recent years employment in the sector has grown four times faster than the workforce as a whole (Creative Industries Council). By graduation students will be well versed in developing and harnessing creative and collaborative techniques; have learnt how to recognise, initiate and develop enterprise opportunities; have acquired a range of essential business skills; and be able to productively contextualise their initiatives within socio-cultural phenomena. However, many CCE alumni go into employment after graduation and apply these creative and collaborative practices in an organisational setting.
