Creative Enterprise


Course overview

The Master of Arts (Creative Enterprise) provides intensive training in new venture development, business modelling in the creative industries, alongside creative practice and development in writing, publishing, new media, performance and film. It culminates in the development of a start-up creative enterprise.

Students may undertake the Master of Arts (Creative Enterprise) (8 cp) across three semesters or 12 months. The course builds on core units of The Creative Economy, Arts Audiences, Arts and the Law, and New Ventures in Creative Enterprises and concludes with a project in a studio-based incubator environment. Every student will bring to the course a creative idea that is to be developed through learning, practice and mentoring in enterprise skills and creative production in a studio-based incubator environment. Industry practitioners and professionals will add authenticity to the 'classroom as incubator'.

The Master of Arts (Creative Enterprise) is a unique course, offering local creative practitioners a lifelong investment in their entrepreneurial and economic future. It also meets a growing international student demand for transferring education in the creative arts to a creative business.
