The course foregrounds iterative testing, entrepreneurship and stakeholder engagement. It also adopts a critical stance towards cultural, economic, social and political inquiry, using discourses taken from a wide range of disciplines including: anthropology, critical theory, management theory, social enterprise, performance and technology among others. ;Rather than limiting its scope to the tradition of mono-disciplinary inquiry, MA Applied Imagination in the Creative Industries embraces multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural collaboration. This is reflected in the wide diversity of our student intake – in addition to conventionally art and design-trained students, our previous student groups have included a large proportion of students from other disciplines including: anthropology, philosophy, law, business and finance, performance, literature, history and science. ;Our students evolve as flexible and reflexive practitioners. They have the skills to both adapt to the changing demands of the workplace and to become agents of positive change in the complex world in which we live. Graduates of MA Applied Imagination in the Creative Industries are able to function in a wide variety of professional and entrepreneurial situations. Our alumni have gone on to join organisations such as ASOS, Google, Hewlett-Packard, IDEO, MUJI, Pratt Institute, TFL, ad agencies Bartle Bogle Hegarty, J.
