E39: Creative courses at university – passion to profession

In this episode, we’re shining a spotlight on creative courses at university – from art and design to media, music, performing arts and beyond.

We’ve brought together a panel of experts and students to explore what creative courses really offer, and how they can lead to rewarding careers across a whole range of industries.

We’ll cover:

• What creative courses actually are – and why they’re worth considering
• Busting common myths – like whether creative graduates struggle to find jobs or earn a decent salary
• The unique experiences creative students get at university – from hands-on projects to industry connections
• The skills creative students develop, and how they open doors to flexible careers
• The support available – from networking and work placements to advice on freelancing and running your own business
• And, as always, we’ll ask our panel: knowing what they know now, what advice would they give their younger selves when deciding whether to apply for a creative course at university?

If you’re passionate about creativity and wondering where it could take you, this episode is packed with advice, insights and real-life experiences to help you decide if a creative course could be your perfect fit.
