Curricular information is subject to change.

This new course is an exciting development at UCD — one that’s simultaneously rigorous, supportive and flexible — poised to launch the next generation of creative dreamers, makers, producers and doers. Producing and managing creative work is a highly dynamic and fast-evolving profession. As co-founder of the production company THISISPOPBABY, we aim to create spaces for radical self-expression, underpinned by ethical and sustainable management practices.

Jenny Jennings, UCD Graduate, Creative Fellow and Guest Lecturer

We offer a range of Erasmus and study abroad opportunities at UCD’s partner universities in Europe and around the world.

Building skills in teamwork, negotiation and collaboration, graduates emerge from this degree with an academic qualification, portfolio of project work and demonstrable management and production skills – highly desirable attributes for careers in the creative and cultural industries.

This course prepares students for postgraduate study in a wide diversity of fields, including media studies, ICT, business, cultural studies, cultural policy and arts management. It also deepens artform knowledge in visual culture, music, film, design and fashion.

In stage 1, you must register to 7 core modules and 4 option modules. You must also pick a spring elective module, or you may pick an extra option module from your programme instead. Students are strongly advised to take three options in autumn and at least one option in spring.
