This article examines the nature and role of courses designed to train creative workers, policy-makers and related actors, in the skills necessary for cultural management, enterprise or intermediation and their relationship in apprehending the sector. The article takes a case study approach, engaging with university policy, student research, reflections from graduates and staff who have participated in a suite of integrated MA awards at a UK university. We find that the programme created environments in which practitioners and intermediaries were positioned in reflexive relation to their experiences and roles. We outline the insights and understandings that have emerged as students explored their own orbits in relation to both critical and instrumental research on the cultural sector, and in relation to perceptions of the transformations in sector and how it is conceived. The case study sets out an agenda for exploring the relationship of research, pedagogy and practice after the creative industries.

大学作为创意经济的中介者：课程中的教育者，决策者和创意工作者

本文探讨了旨在培训创意工作者，决策者和相关角色的课程的性质和作用，这些课程具有文化管理，企业或中介所需的技能以及他们与行业理解的关系。本文采用案例研究的方法，结合大学政策，学生研究，来自毕业生和参加过英国大学一整套集成式MA奖的员工的思考。我们发现，该计划创建了一个环境，在该环境中，从业人员和中介人与其经验和角色处于反身关系。我们概述了学生探索与文化领域的批判性研究和工具性研究有关的自己的轨道时所产生的见解和理解，以及对部门转型及其构想的看法。该案例研究提出了探索创意产业之后的研究，教学法和实践之间关系的议程。
