N2 - This chapter explores tensions between UK policy and craft higher education (HE). Reflecting on recent creative industries (CI) and education policies, and research on craft HE, it seeks to present the implications of growing economic and employability agendas. The chapter begins by discussing the current HE environment, referencing recent policy and government proposals that influence creative HE. From this, contradictions are highlighted in the simultaneous advocation for the CI as an economic growth sector and devaluation of creative educational pathways.
