The programme is informed by a belief in the importance of cultural enterprise, which is embedded into the framework structure. Core modules equip students with an understanding of the necessary knowledge of cultural management, and encourage students to consider enterprise and entrepreneurialism in this context. The programme synthesizes critical examination of cultural management theory and practices with the wider background, policies, theories and principles of working in the arts, cultural and creative industries. Cultural management within the artistic, creative and cultural contexts is becoming increasingly internationalised and the global nature of cultural management in each of the degree areas is explored within the context of international policy, funding and advances in collaborative working. This is applied within a contemporary social, political, economic and technological context and within public, voluntary and commercial sector frameworks.

The programme offers an innovative approach to creative and cultural leadership including operational and strategic management, offering professional development at a high level, encouraging learners to critically reflect on policies, procedures and practices informed by theory. The programme develops essential creative and cultural management skills. Funding and sponsorship, marketing and management of cultural and creative projects are each explored. The programme addresses the nature and process of managing a creative and cultural organisation and recognises that managing staff, teams and volunteers and strategies for workforce development are key elements of the cultural manager’s role. Alongside this, community working and education programmes form the remit of many cultural sector activities. The programme enables learners to engage with social and education policy and strategies for developing and aligning activity to meet the needs of particular communities and audiences.

The creative industries are increasingly important for economic activity, and understanding the best policies to stimulate their growth has become more important than ever.

According to the UK Work Foundation (2007), the UK has the largest creative sector in the EU, and relative to GDP probably the largest in the world. Across the world, governments are investing in the creative industries and supporting infrastructure for economic return as competition intensifies.

Investment ranges from the use of tax breaks and other incentives, such as those used to underwrite the games industries in Canada and France, to the building of new media cities and clusters in Asia and the Middle East, and of course directions in the educational curriculum aimed at enhancing skills and creativity.

Entry Requirements

Anyone undertaking this course must possess an upper second class bachelors degree or higher in a relevant subject area. It is advantageous to be able to demonstrate an understanding of research in the creative industries or cultural policy.

We also welcome non-traditional applications, particularly from applicants with substantial professional or production experience. We therefore accredit prior experiential learning.
