It’s only fitting therefore that the St Augustine Campus should have the exclusive on the BA in Carnival Studies. It’s the only programme where students pursue a mix of studies in arts entrepreneurship, cultural and events management, cultural studies research and practice and carnival arts design. It provides those strong linkages and practical engagement with creative enterprises and offers a classroom experience in which students are exposed to a range of disciplines: communication studies, theatre, visual arts, film, economics, tourism and hospitality and engineering. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. For almost two decades, the Department of Creative and Festival Arts, through its Carnival Studies Unit, has given focus to developing the human resource capacity within the masquerade industry and the wider cultural economy of the Caribbean. The end result is a degree that prepares graduates for engagement in the Carnival and Creative industry as leaders in innovation, cultural research and festival management.
