The University of Sussex has launched brand-new undergraduate degree in partnership with the Brighton Dome & Brighton Festival, providing students with industry knowledge and experience of the cultural sector, from performing arts and music to film, festivals and publishing.
The Creative Industries Batchelor of Arts (BA) is now open for applications for September 2025 and will provide applicants with the opportunity to partake in relevant, hands-on work experience with companies across the cultural sector that will benefit their future career. The course, which has been co-developed by sector professionals, will also see students study the ideas that underpin the creative industries, and to think innovatively about the future of the cultural sector against a backdrop of climate change and AI.

This builds on the University’s role as Education Partner for the Brighton Festival and will expand across both teaching and research.
