Creative Industries

The Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) in Creative Industries is aimed at students engaged in the arts and creative fields (visual arts, design, music, theatre, dance, multimedia, film, etc.) who wish to strengthen their skills to operate in international and interdisciplinary contexts

The programme's mission is to develop students' initiative, creativity and leadership capacity through collaborative experiences between institutions from several countries, preparing them to become creative, innovative professionals who are aware of their role in Society.

Throughout the programme, participants work in international, multidisciplinary teams, exploring challenges related to the creative industries and sustainability, in line with the EU Green Deal

The programme is structured around three main competence pillars:

Pedagogical Excellence & Active Learning

Learning by doing, connecting theoretical concepts to concrete situations in the creative industries

Collaboration & Interdisciplinarity

Working in international teams, bringing together arts, technologies and society

Transversal & Professional Skills

Strengthening pitching, structured argumentation, and portfolio preparation for global markets

A transformative international experience that develops critical thinking, applied creativity, intercultural collaboration, and project management skills for confident participation in global and sustainable creative contexts.

Methods & Outcomes

Interactive sessions combining theory and practice, analysis of real cases in the creative industries, contributions from guest professionals, visits and field activities, and group project work. Students develop and present creative proposals in pitch format before an international panel.
