Course details
The MPhil in Creative and Cultural Entrepreneurship will enable entrants who have previously explored an area of creative study and practice (music, media, theatre, design, fashion, computer games, or interactive digital media) to develop a creative idea into an entrepreneurial project. The entrepreneurial activity may relate directly to a ‘product’ or ‘process’ arising from the student’s creative engagement or to a form of ‘expertise’ or ‘consultancy’. The programme will also equip students, who wish to work within existing organisations with the infrastructure and environment for setting up new creative businesses, with the capacity to flourish in a variety of creative entrepreneurial contexts.
Programme Content:
- The programme consists of three mandatory taught modules and two optional modules chosen within a specialist creative practice strand. Students are expected to attend all taught components of the programme:
- Students will take three compulsory modules: the core modules, History of Creative Industries, Theories and of Creative Practice, and Entrepreneurial Thinking/Modelling
- In addition students will take two optional modules. The options available each year will vary. Those on offer in any given year will be divided into three strands and students will be asked to choose two optional modules from each strand. Students will have to choose modules within their specialist strand that do not conflict with the timetabling of other programme modules.
- Students will also engage in a project/dissertation on an approved topic relating to the course.

Trinity is recognised as one of the world's leading research-intensive universities and its research continues to address issues of global societal and economic importance. The University's research strategy is based on developing multidisciplinary areas in which the College has the critical mass of world-class researchers needed to deliver research of global consequence.
Among the priority research themes being addressed by Trinity researchers are ageing, nanoscience and materials, telecommunications, neuroscience, human identity, cancer, international integration, arts practice, and the inclusive society. These are topics that not only address issues of immediate and long-term concern to society but offer opportunities for future economic development. The University's commitment to a research-led education means that our students are exposed to leaders in their discipline, to the latest knowledge and ideas, and to an education that emphasises analytical skills and creative thinking, and gives students an opportunity to develop a broad range of skills by engaging in personal research.
This excellence in research underpins Trinity's Innovation and Entrepreneurship strategy. Research is central to the generation of the new disruptive ideas that will underpin future sustainable businesses. The knowledge created by Trinity is critical for the economic development of Ireland as it is for the education on offer to our students.
