Goldsmiths - University of London

Welcome to the Institute for Creative and Cultural Entrepreneurship at Goldsmiths, University of London.

ICCE delivers enterprise, cultural management and policy education to the creative and cultural sectors, and supports research in to new approaches to business, financial models and management in the Creative Economy. It delivers a range of academic programmes and presents activities and events to promote an environment in which creative and cultural entrepreneurship can flourish. Our approach is to integrate entrepreneurship within the development of creative practices, and to take a creative approach to the development of new businesses and the infrastructure that supports them.

For arts and cultural organisations we encourage students to critically analyse current management and policy practice at both micro and macro levels and recognise their potential to create new models and practice for both.

ICCE takes the view that Entrepreneurship is the creation of value, this value could be social, aesthetic or financial, and that when entrepreneurial activity is strong the three strands are interwoven.

• Postgraduate taught and research degrees
  • MA Arts Administration and Cultural Policy
  • MA Creative and Cultural Entrepreneurship
  • MA Social Entrepreneurship

• Training for people who are developing businesses around a creative practice or area of expertise
• Training for local or national policy makers who want to understand how to create the infrastructure needed to support an environment of creative entrepreneurship
• Engagement activities which enable students and academics to work with industry partners to develop and explore new enterprises
• Events to encourage debate and networking between all involved in the sector
• An innovative MA in Social Entrepreneurship, developed from a truly interdisciplinary and creative space. Social entrepreneurs are visionaries who reframe the way we conceive of and then solve complex social and environmental problems. Our MA in Social Entrepreneurship provides the critical space, context, and rigor to prepare future leaders to make their mark.
