Arts Management PG Dip

Birkbeck, University of London

The Postgraduate Diploma in Arts Management gives you the chance to explore the requirements and benefits of sustainable and strategic arts policy and management. You will analyse leadership contexts and power relations in bringing together policy and managerial approaches related to current trends and issues. Examples of this include work to address gender imbalances through art activism, diversity and equity through intersectional applications and the interpretation of cultural values as cultural policy rationales. You will evaluate art productions and audiences as seen through an art policy and management lens.The course balances theory and practice within the context of the current social, political, economic and technological environments. We invite you to develop and expand your key critical-thinking skills in smaller discursive seminar groups focusing on public and voluntary sector arts organisations, but also address key commercial sector issues.Start Date: October 2024Duration: One year
