About Creative Futures @ Roehampton University
Responding to the government’s call for universities to "provide courses that address the 'skills needs' of the economy", Roehampton University has initiated and developed a suite of high-quality non-accredited professional training courses. Funded by HEFCE, through a successful Economic Challenge Investment Fund bid, the University has chosen to focus on and offer support to individuals working in the creative industries, an area of significant expertise and reputation at Roehampton.

In times of economic recession such as this, individuals employed within the creative industries are frequently early casualties and yet their skills are often needed once businesses begin to grow and develop following an economic upturn. This is particularly relevant for the south west of London, where Roehampton University is situated.
