Course summary
Our interdisciplinary MA in Arts Management, Policy and Practice provides the knowledge and skills to manage and coordinate arts organisations, programmes and events across the creative and cultural industries. You will explore the fundamental aspects of what it means to be an arts manager, covering business and financial management, audience development, marketing, programming and cultural policymaking. You will develop your knowledge and understanding of the history, theory and practice of arts management and acquire direct experience and insights through opportunities to hear from and work with arts managers from across the sector through guest lectures, workshops and placement opportunities. With a practical, hands-on element and a strong theoretical grounding, you will be immersed in theory and practice, promoting critical thinking around contemporary management practices. These provide the foundations for a career as an arts manager, administrator or artist within the creative and cultural industries.
