The lecture series for this course will follow two interdependent, integrated streams. One will develop students’ historical, theoretical and critical awareness of the relationship between arts, cultural entrepreneurship and business management from a variety of viewpoints – film, music, dance, theatre, festival, gallery etc. The other series will be more professionally focused exploring the changing environment with respect to business methods (finance, planning and the law), and marketing and branding strategies within the creative industries.
The practical seminars and workshops for the course will focus around important case studies to highlight different business models within the creative industries from SMEs to national organizations as well as allowing an opportunity to explore important, innovative approaches to marketing and communications strategies within the sector.
Marketing is one of the most challenging, fast-moving and exciting disciplines in the world of business. Our Marketing degree has a theoretical focus that is combined with practical examples of how companies apply the theory on a day-to-day basis, meaning that what students learn is not only academically sound but also rooted in the realities of today’s dynamic marketplace.
