The Creative Boost Summer School has been developed by Dundee College as part of its involvement in the Interreg funded Creative City Challenge project. The key aims of this project are to identify, develop and test a range of strategies to develop the urban economies in the North Sea Region and focuses on the role of the creative industries in building and strengthening this development.

The Summer School has been designed and developed in conjunction with the Cultural Enterprise Office and CCSkills to boost enterprise and entrepreneurial skills in recent graduates from creative industries courses to help better equip them to survive and thrive off the skills they have developed from their education.

The blended approach to learning that this course takes features both face to face delivery and self directed learning, supported through structured online modules. As well as class based and online practical exercises, Masterclasses, case studies and advice from industry based mentors, help steer students through the perils and pitfalls of working in the creative industries and leads them to the creation of their own business plan for their future careers.
