You will develop the industry awareness, collaborative skills and reflective practice needed to work in the cultural and creative industries. The way that culture is produced, distributed and consumed is changing. Such developments are not new, but the rate of change, the pervasive nature of digital
technology and the importance of cultural industries in our economies and societies mean that these changes are having very wideranging social effects. Traditional questions of; how culture is made, by whom and under what conditions remain, as does the question of who benefits – but they are being asked in a new environment.
