Creative Graduates: Enhancing teaching-research links in the creative arts Terry Wareham
This briefing paper is intended for academics and institutional policy-makers within creative disciplines in higher education to provoke debate and enhance understanding of the ways in which research and teaching can be conceptualised and linked so that students emerge from their programmes of study with knowledge and attributes that equip them not only to enter the creative industries but to move those industries forward: to become creative graduates. The paper is one outcome of the Creative Graduates project which is part of the Scottish Quality Assurance Agency enhancement theme Research-Teaching Linkages: Enhancing Graduate Attributes.
