Creative and Cultural Industries: Events and Experiences Design BA (Hons)

About

This course prepares you for a career in exhibitions and events in the creative industries. You will develop practical and analytical skills for the curation, conception, resourcing, marketing and budgeting of an exhibition or event.

You will learn to visualise, collaborate, experiment and project manage as you work on real-world projects with other students and industry professionals. You will also develop your knowledge of the creative industries, exploring topics such as design thinking, branding and strategy for creative organisations. You will have creative freedom and be encouraged to undertake non-commercial creative projects.

The course also offers opportunities to work on live projects with creative companies and institutions, as well as alongside your classmates in our student-powered creative agency, Studio KT1.

Throughout the course you'll also develop the commercial and organisational skills and understanding needed to work effectively in the Creative and Cultural sector.

Additional requirements

Please submit a digital portfolio, 15-20 pages in length or alternative content and show us the four values of questioning, curiosity, technical ability, and enthusiasm.

A project may be spread over several pages or take up just one; think about the order you put things in. Combining your work into a PDF is a good way of ensuring your portfolio is easy to access and stays the way you want it to look. You can use other formats to show your work by including links in your PDF (such as online link to a website, Instagram, Flicker or Vimeo account.) You just need to be very careful that your links work and that they can be opened on different types of devices. You will be sent guidance on how to upload your portfolio when you have applied to your course.

Instead of a portfolio of projects, you could show us activities that you do, but perhaps don't think of as a creative practice; your curated Instagram feed, YouTube channel, TikTok content, Depop/Vinted shop or a series of photographs.
