Dundee

We are specialists. Our intellectual endeavours are dedicated to building bridges between the communities- namely western and Muslim- that make up our city, nation and world today. In this all-inclusive approach to education, we believe, the College is a somewhat unique establishment in Scotland and the UK today. The College actively works to educate the next generation of professionals and scholars, both nationally and internationally. Our students are achievers- thinking differently, challenging, examining, defining and provoking positive change within societies and communities from local to global. Indeed, since our founding in 2001, the College has seen students from over 30 different nationalities graduate from our contemporary courses which now include Higher National Certificate and Diploma (HNC/D) qualifications. Furthermore, the College is in partnership with the University of Dundee and launched Scotland’s first masters degree in Islamic Banking and Finance during the 2019/20 academic year. The College is pleased to be offering an MPhil (Master of Philosophy) in The Middle East in a Global Context, in partnership with Trinity College Dublin and also holds an articulation agreement with Abertay University. We are agents for change, as befits a changing city, nation and world. Small in size but great in our ambition, we embrace differences, tolerance and breadth of understanding as the key to meeting the challenges of the 21st Century. Discover Diversity.

Who : Creative Catalyst (Scotland) CIC is a social enterprise which supports young people into Creative Careers. After establishing and running a similar two year pilot project for young creatives as part of the lead up to Perth Creative Exchange and The Famous Grouse Ideas Centre opening , founding director Helen O’Brien decided to take the model of this project forward as a social enterprise. In September 2019 we successfully received ‘Start It’ funding from Firstport, and moved into our new studio at Perth Creative Exchange in November 2019. We have just received Firstport ‘Build It’ funding to support and embed our development in 2021-22. We offer creative employability opportunities for young people who face barriers to employment and training in Perth & Kinross. This project is specifically targeted at young creative individuals who need support to develop their confidence in their creative skills and abilities, and signpost to other opportunities and experiences that will support them with next steps of a creative career. We work alongside other 16+ support agencies in Perth & Kinross who refer young people to us, and we welcome individuals and support workers to contact us directly. How: We offer work experience and mentoring opportunities with professional artists and makers who run live creative projects for us, from design and prototyping an idea, to making a final product, marketing and selling; visit shop here. These projects develop a broad spectrum of practical creative and transferable skills including using imagination, problem solving, clear communication, persistence, self discipline, collaboration and working to a deadline. We also run creative workshops and programmes for children, families and communities which offer opportunities for our young people to work alongside a lead artist to gain confidence and experience of delivering projects with different age groups.
