Do you work in a sector where digital rights and obligations are a key concern?
Did you know that successful leadership in the digital creative economy requires linking complex legal provisions (such as copyright, trademarks, data protection and privacy) to economic analysis and strategic thinking about markets and regulation?
Dr Sukhpreet Singh & Dr Elena Cooper from the University of Glasgow teach on an executive Masters programme that offers professional development and validation of executive expertise to develop digital innovators and creative leaders.
Why MSc@CREATe?
Intellectual property rights are devised to encourage innovation in culture, business, and technology. Laws give protection to different types of creations, turning culture into goods that can be transacted, bought and sold. This is called the Creative Economy.
In the digital world, things change rapidly at the interface of rights, data, and information. These changes affect society at large, and in particular the work of creative businesses, digital innovators, cultural heritage organisations, and policy-makers. Asking the right questions and getting useful answers often requires the combination of different areas of expertise.
CREATe, a globally leading research institute on copyright law and the creative economy based at the University of Glasgow, has developed the MSc@CREATe - an online executive Master of Science in IP, Innovation and the Creative Economy.
