The @UniversitiesUK @MadeAtUni Creative Sparks ✨ campaign demonstrates just how important university arts and humanities courses are to the UK's world-leading creative industries. Prof Juliette Pattinson, Director of our Division of Arts and Humanities, explains… (1/2)
ALT ‘University arts and humanities courses spark inspiration and innovation and provide many talented students with the opportunity to contribute to the nation's creative excellence and economy through collaborations and work placements. More than ever, this is the time to celebrate - and invest - in the creative excellence of universities, their staff and their students across all the creative disciplines; from film making, literature, music and languages, to design, heritage, the arts and beyond.’
