About Cultural Industries Management at University of Wales Trinity Saint David

Course Overview

The creative and cultural industries form an increasingly significant sector and are a source of entrepreneurship, inspiration and sustainable economic development. The Green Paper - Unlocking the potential of cultural and creative industries (2010) noted 'Many recent studies have shown that the cultural and creative industries represent highly innovative companies with a great economic potential and are one of Europe's most dynamic sectors, contributing around 2.6 % to GDP, with a high growth potential and providing quality jobs to around 5 million people across Europe. It also noted the need for the development of entrepreneurial and business skills to maximise innovation and the economic, social and cultural potential of the sector.

Our BA Cultural Industries Management programme aims to develop your understanding of management issues as they apply to the cultural industries.
