Postgraduate - Area of study Cultural economy

This area of study is for students working at the crossroads of culture, economy and government. The cultural economy is a highly diverse sector, characterised by a complex ecosystem in which cultural and economic goals and dynamics combine in ways that transgress traditional disciplinary and policy boundaries. This area provides an overall guide to this cultural economy and the individual road maps needed to achieve different career ambitions within it. This might be work in the independent arts and creative/cultural industries; working in cultural policy, urban regeneration and branding, and community development; and/or seeking to place cultural economies in an historical context, and understand its implications for contemporary practice.
