Making money from your creativity

Enterprise, community and industry

How can I make money from my creativity?

Our enterprise offer is about unpacking how you can go about achieving this. We aim to use clear communication to try and avoid the barriers that enterprise jargon can create. Our approach is student centred, which means that we create our programmes with you in mind, wherever you may be on your entrepreneurial journey.

You don’t have to go on this journey alone. We believe in harnessing the power of community to navigate the shared challenges that come up when trying to get ahead as a creative. Particularly if you are from a marginalised background.

We have a range of enterprise-focused programmes and opportunities. These can help you to make money, test out your ideas, sustain your side hustle and make a positive difference in the world!
