Tap into your creative potential and unlock an unstoppable future in the creative industries.

The creative economy brings together some of the brightest and most visionary minds to transform new ideas and ways of thinking into how we see and engage with the world. It’s a collective of creatives, including designers, communicators, artists, writers, architects, illustrators, and people who work in screen.

It’s through creative works that we find new knowledge and contribute to the broader cultural landscape. The creative industries are also a real economic driver, employing more than 6% of the world’s working population – a staggering 50 million jobs worldwide.^*

Our Bachelor of Creative Industries will combine your creativity study with a business mindset. You’ll chose industry majors aligned with your interests, tailoring your study experience to future career goals.
