Master of Creative Industries
University of Canberra, Canberra, ACT, Australia
About this program
The University of Canberra's Master of Creative Industries is a deliberately flexible two-year degree (48 credit points) that students shape around their own goals, with core units, a specialisation in digital marketing, creative leadership, design, or heritage materials conservation, a wide elective pool spanning marketing, UX, entrepreneurship and creative business finance, and a work-integrated learning or research component.
The industry element can be an internship, a research project or a work-based project done with a partner or at the student's own workplace. Entry is a bachelor's degree in any field, with credit for relevant graduate certificates and a professional pathway for experienced applicants. It runs on campus, online or blended, and suits people moving into leadership and business roles across the creative and cultural sector.
