Course Description

Building on your exploration in Arts Management Project 1, you will extend your learning of theoretical and practical aspects of the arts management industry.

This course gives you the opportunity to undertake project work as your principle method for integrated learning. You will locate your project in your chosen field of study. Feedback on your proposal and project is through seminars and academic advice. Your work is assessed through the documentation of your project presented in your Research Catalogue and through a public presentation to examiners.
