The University of Sunderland has launched a new scholarship to address gender inequality in the arts and creative industries on a global scale. The Scholarship for Women in the Arts and Creative Industries, a joint initiative by the University’s Faculty of Arts and Creative Industries and the International Office, seeks to remove the obstacles that prevent women from pursuing and excelling in creative careers in media, film, and the arts. UNESCO’s recent study revealed that women remain underrepresented in cultural and creative industries worldwide. Therefore, the University is making this scholarship available exclusively to female creatives from the Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Bhutan. This scholarship covers full tuition and accommodation, including eligible courses such as MA Design and MA Media Production (Film and Television).
Professor Arabella Plouviez, Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Creative Industries at the University of Sunderland, explained: “Empowering women to pursue careers within the creative industries is critical for fostering diverse, inclusive, and innovative societies. The University of Sunderland’s introduction of this ‘Scholarship for Women in the Arts and Creative Industries’ for the academic year 2024/25 is an important step as well as a fantastic opportunity. By offering financial support and opportunities for engagement, this scholarship will open doors for talented women. Through initiatives like these, we move closer to a future where every voice, regardless of gender, is heard and celebrated in the vibrant tapestry of the arts.”
Meanwhile, Lorraine Robertson, Deputy Director of International at the University, remarked: “The University of Sunderland is excited to introduce this initiative, playing a pivotal role in shaping the future of the creative industries to be more inclusive and diverse. This scholarship is a testament to a belief in the transformative power of education and the arts in advancing gender equality and empowering women. As we celebrate International Women’s Day, this scholarship demonstrates our commitment to invest in the talents of women around the world to inspire an inclusive future within the creative industries.”
In conclusion, this scholarship is a crucial step towards achieving equality within these industries, promoting diversity and inclusivity globally, and reflecting the University’s commitment to inspiring future female talents.
