what are creative industries

The creative industries foster individual creativity, skill and talent and offer diverse and rewarding career opportunities.

This philosophy is upheld by the newest faculty at Queensland University of Technology (QUT), the Creative Industries Faculty.

Working closely with partners from government and industry, the faculty has positioned itself as a leader in the development of creative industries in Queensland and nationally and aims to become an internationally-networked hub of creative enterprise.

The creative industries include:

• literature and print media
• visual and performing arts
• music composition and publishing
• new media such as animation, games and internet content design
• broadcasting electronic media and film
• heritage activities.
