You will learn about the vital importance of creativity within 21st-century cultural organisations, and discover the opportunities and challenges posed by new technologies. Youll begin this Arts & Cultural Management MA with your first core module focused on key issues in the context, theory and debates concerning arts and cultural management. By exploring the tactical, logistical, and strategic challenges involved in managing art in todays rapidly changing globalised world, you will consider how cultural leadership and the creation of art can have a range of societal benefits. This will help you critically evaluate the relationship between arts, culture and management, and to develop your own thinking about how arts and cultural management could develop in the future.

You will learn from a diverse group of leading arts and cultural organisations and senior arts and cultural managers. This gives you the rare opportunity to hear first-hand how practitioners deal with the day-to-day challenges of arts and cultural management and discover the skills, processes, and concepts that are used in the real world. You will put what you learn into practice by responding to live briefs that the guest speakers will set, reflecting real-world situations within their organisations.
