This innovative new Masters programme from King's College London, delivered from within the heart of one of the world's cultural capitals, is specifically designed to meet the needs of the arts and cultural manager. You will learn the vital importance of creativity, given the increasingly global nature of competition, as well as the opportunities and threats posed by new technologies.
Hosted by the Department of Culture, Media and Creative Industries and working in collaboration with the Cultural Institute at King's, the MA Arts & Cultural Management programme offers an unparalleled exposure to cultural management in practice, with core modules providing critical engagement with experienced cultural managers and leading London-based arts organisations.
There is also the opportunity to undertake an internship, where you will undertake work experience in the arts or creative industries, and write a self-assessment looking at the skills, knowledge and motivation needed to build a career in these industries. Previous students from within the host Department (Culture, Media and Creative Industries) have interned at the National Theatre, Barbican Centre, British Council, British Film Institute, Hayward Gallery, National Portrait Gallery, Screen Digest, The British Museum, CIDA (Cultural Industries Development Agency), MTV, Donmar Warehouse, Google and the V&A Museum. Finally, students can choose between a dissertation on a chosen topic within the field or an arts-based research project.
Course purpose: The MA in Arts & Cultural Management is suitable for those new to the field as well as individuals with existing arts and cultural work experience. It provides a critical understanding of arts and cultural management for graduates seeking a career in arts management or for professionals wishing to enhance their existing knowledge and career prospects.
Key benefits: Head start your career through focused teaching and internship. Insights into management, planning and leadership. Gain knowledge of arts and culture across national and international contexts. Strong links with London's cultural organisations. Lectures and workshops from leading arts and cultural industry professionals. Emphasis on creativity and arts-based learning.
Career prospects: Graduates of this new MA are expected to move on to arts and cultural management roles in a wide variety of contexts and international locations. Graduates from the host department (Culture, Media and Creative Industries) currently go on to take up a wide range of roles in the cultural and creative industries, for example, in performing arts management, museum and gallery management, arts funding, cultural industries development, film distribution, freelance research, creative business development, arts administration, publishing, art marketing and local governance.
