About this course

Overview

Combining arts and innovation means you can reimagine industries, create impactful solutions and influence social and technological change. You can develop your creative expression and critical thinking skills, while learning to solve problems and lead entrepreneurial ventures.

Through your Arts degree, you'll gain insight into society, culture and communications, selecting from majors such as Creative Writing, Digital and Social Media and International Relations. You'll sharpen your ability to analyse, critique and express ideas that could reshape cultural landscapes.

In your Innovation degree, you'll focus on entrepreneurial thinking, product development and strategy. You'll learn how to transform your ideas into real-world solutions - whether by launching your own start-up or by driving innovation within existing industries.

Combining the two can make you stand out in a competitive job market and be prepared for a wide range of careers that require a blend of creative and technical expertise and problem-solving skills.

The course involves a set of transformational experiences, including the development of a sustainable business innovation project, an interactive study tour or an international experience. You can practise your new skills in real situations, whether you're aspiring to craft stories, create cutting-edge online platforms, or lead strategic international projects.
