Enterprise & Knowledge Exchange

Most businesses and organisations tend to think of Universities as academic institutions divorced from the industrial landscape. We do, of course, pride ourselves on the quality of the teaching, learning and research within our Department - but we are also aware of the increasing role of universities as powerhouses which can work in partnership with industry for mutual benefit.

As one of the largest university departments of its kind in the UK, we are keen to work closely with industry partners and to exchange both knowledge and expertise. For us, industry means the cultural and creative industries – theatre and the performing arts, film and video production, television and radio broadcasting, online activity, and arts and media policy.  The Department has a range of facilities, resources and expertise in these areas, including theatre making, scenography, acting and voice training, stage and television studio directing, video and audio editing, camera-work and broadcasting regulation and policy.

You can read more about our work on these pages, or in our ‘Working in Partnership’ brochure. 

We also want to hear from you; if you work in the creative industries in Wales and beyond – for a public or private company, a not-for-profit organisation, a public corporation or institution – or if you’re an individual working in the industry, please get in touch. Our aim is to forge closer links between the Department and the business community, and to increase innovation and understanding in our field.
