Entrepreneurship in the Creative Industries
Can you help us with our research?
The Subject Centre for Art Design Media (ADM-HEA) is undertaking a
research project in association with professional organisations and
subject associations in the creative industries with the aim of
supporting and enhancing the development of entrepreneurial skills in
the Art, Design and Media sectors. Outcomes of the research will feed
into the policy agenda relating to Higher Education, entrepreneurialism
and the creative industries and will inform the practices of Higher
Education Institutions.
A key part of the research is to form a coherent picture of current
practices for entrepreneurship education with art, design and media
courses in the UK. We have undertaken some student focus groups and we
have designed a questionnaire to be completed by colleagues teaching on
art, design and media courses. The questionnaire is on-line and can be
accessed via the following links:
http://www.brighton.ac.uk/adm-hea/html/news/news-ECIReQuest.htm
The questionnaire is aimed at discovering the range, depth and type of
facilities, services, teaching, learning and assessment that supports
graduates in becoming more entrepreneurial. We aim to demonstrate that
there is extensive innovation and good practice in this area and
discover ways in which this might be enhanced. Data and findings based
on the questionnaire will also guide us in the design of future events
for teachers and students aimed developing and enhancing good practice
in this area of education for the arts, design and media.
We would like to encourage all our colleagues involved in the design
and delivery of courses in art, design and media to complete the
questionnaire. If you cannot supply the information requested, please
forward this email to the appropriate person in your institution. We
are relying on your support.
Any questions can be directed to the Subject Centre Manager at

or by phone: 01273 643908.
All respondents to the questionnaire will receive advance notice of
events related to this project, a copy of the final report and a CD ROM
with the background data informing the research findings and the report
recommendations. Please respond by Friday 4 November, 2005.
