Spotlight on the creative industries

Home to over 1,600 creative companies employing over 12,000 people, Cambridge has a higher concentration of creative jobs than the UK average and plays a central role in the UK’s creative economy.

ARU’s new school, Cambridge School of Creative Industries, aims to highlight this creativity at the heart of the city and support young people’s aspirations for successful, creative, futures.
