The Creative Life Stories project aims to support students who face barriers when trying to get a career in the creative and cultural industries.
We hope to demystify careers in the creative and cultural industries, providing insight and practical support for underrepresented students. We want to help you to make the most of your university experience so that you feel able to forge a meaningful working life after graduation. We want to highlight the many and diverse pathways into, through, and beyond university for the diverse range of students that create our university community.
This website provides a range of resources in the form of short videos, blog posts and interviews. We will be hosting a series of Creative Life Stories Connections events which provide a space where you can talk informally to fellow creatives - you can find out more via our 'Creative Life Stories Connections' page.
