Course Description
This course will introduce you to the specific research and practical skills that you will need to design and develop an arts management project. You will be introduced to research methodologies that relate to your investigations so that you can conceptualise and develop an original research proposal for an arts management project. Your project work will explore the theoretical and practical aspects of your chosen field at a foundational level. Projects can be simulated or real depending on opportunities.
This is the designated Work Integrated Learning course for MC280. It includes a work integrated learning experience in which your knowledge and skills will be applied and assessed in a real or simulated workplace context and where feedback from industry and/ or community is integral to your experience.

1. Attain appropriate and relevant arts management knowledge, with the ability to critique, use and apply that knowledge across a range of situations, enabling effective judgements in dealing with new and emerging issues in the field.
2. Carry out self-directed learning and independent research to develop your individual arts management practice and locate your work globally within an appropriate conceptual and theoretical context.
3. Critically evaluate and make judgements on the social, legal and international aspects of actions and decisions in arts management, with an understanding of professional expectations and ethical requirements.
4. Communicate through practice and policy in a sustainable manner with a wide range of audiences in multidisciplinary means with an appreciation of communication as a personal and cultural practice.
5. Demonstrate the skills of research, analysis and presentation within professional and academic fields.
