UAL Creative Shift

Creative Shift is based in the Academic Enhancement team at University of the Arts London. We believe in shaping diversity and equity in the creative industries and aim to empower UAL students who are least represented in the creative sector. We do this by working collaboratively with industry partners to support emerging creatives develop their professional practice and build their network. Creative Shift encourage students to inform the shaping of their educational experience by offering an alternative model of enterprise learning and employability education. This focuses on a learning by doing approach and centering the student voice. We encourage students to take ownership of their progression into the creative industries – be that in employment or self-employment through harnessing the power of community. Key industry partners include LinkedIn, Soho House, Eric Festival, NOW, venturethree, Hope&Glory, GUAP, The Kusp and Creative Champs.
