Focusing on transferable work-related knowledge and skills, it will enable you to meet the changing demands of creative work and critically engage with the sector. Underpinning this will be an understanding of the critical and theoretical literature on cultural labour and entrepreneurship, ownership and gatekeeping, curatorial practice, leadership, diversity and representation, cultural policy and copyright.
