This course provides students with a practical introduction to business principles tailored for the creative industries. Through the first two units—Business Essentials for Creatives and Managing Your Business, students build a strong foundation in finance, legal frameworks, ethical practices, and resource management. In Marketing, Brand & Identity, they explore how to reach audiences, build brand trust, and communicate value through creative thinking and digital tools. These combined skills prepare students to confidently approach their final 'Your Business Project', where they apply their learning to develop, plan, and pitch a creative business concept, turning their ideas into viable and responsible enterprises.
