  • Knowledge of international trends in cultural policy and how they are affecting, and affected by, the practice of Arts Management
  • Essential practical skills relating to Arts Management, particularly strategic planning, financial management, business planning, and engaging audiences
  • A sophisticated level of critical and divergent thinking and expression
  • Skills appropriate to self-directed study and independent research

  • Further developed wider intellectual and transferable skills, consistent with creative thought and independent learning.

We connect directly with a range of theatre companies, festivals, venues, local and central government bodies and arts development agencies to ensure that students are meeting, hearing from, and working with, professionals and policymakers. Through these industry links students are supported to connect theory to practice and practice to theory to assist them in their future careers in an increasingly diverse field of work.
