BA (Hons) Creative Industries

Who is this course for?

If you want to develop as a creative practitioner, to be the person that takes an idea from its inception and brings it to fruition, then this course will provide the broad skills base that you need.

You do not need to arrive with specific technical skills in order to be successful; we are looking for people with the potential to harness their passion and enthusiasm for finding innovative ways to develop and promote new ideas and projects and fulfil those possibilities of working within the creative industries.

As new platforms and delivery modes develop and converge, creative practitioners and entrepreneurs need to be able to manage ideas and projects with innovation and originality.

What skills will I gain?

• Creative development skills
• The ability to innovate, design and develop a range of creative projects
• Creative cooperation skills
• The ability to supervise, guide and inspire creative groups
• People management, mediation and interpersonal skills
• An understanding of how the law works in the creative industries
• The ability to market and promote your own projects and those of others
• Business and entrepreneurial skills
• The ability to assess creative projects and opportunities
• An understanding of negotiation and contract management

Gaining hands-on experience

You will develop transferable producing skills which can be applied across the creative industries sector, and will be tested to your creative limit, which will give you insights into how to market creative products. Working in groups, you will create and film a script based on a biographical subject.

You will be a creative producer, working for a client who will commission you to assist them in the delivery of their creative product. You will also be a producer in your own right, developing your own creative product to be showcased in ArtSpace (the festival to celebrate creativity at Regent’s College London). This Major Creative Project represents a summation of your entire learning, and is also a test of your skills, enterprise, judgement and maturity.

Learning Methods

You will learn through lectures, seminars, workshops, case studies and tutorials, and will have the opportunity to specialise in preferred media areas.

You will work both individually and in groups, replicating industry practice.

You will also undertake a work placement that will prepare you for first-hand experience of working in the industry.
