The Emergent Practices In Entrepreneurship Education For Creatives pedagogic research project is a study of creative enterprise education with the aim of identifying best practice and the most effective entrepreneurship education for Art and Design students. At the core of this research was the desire to support and enhance Higher Education Institutions in meeting the Government agenda to increase collaboration between business and academia in the creative sector.
Eleven case studies were created as part of the project of which this resource is one. This case study details the course Graduate Diploma in Creative Business Development which forms the final year of the BDes (Hons) Three Dimensional Design course at Manchester Metropolitan University. The course aims to support students as they transition from education to professional practice. It does this by guiding them through a programme of research which is designed to address the issues involved with running their own practice. This aids the student in learning new skills necessary for self-employment commercial understanding and confidence.
