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.*

You’ll chose industry majors aligned with your interests, tailoring your study experience to future career goals.
