Master of Arts in Arts Management

Program Overview

The MA in Arts Management at Bath Spa builds on students’ own previous experience and background, expanding their professional arts and cultural knowledge, management skills, entrepreneurial thinking, and creative leadership skills. Designed and delivered in close collaboration with leading arts organisations, the course provides students with the theoretical framework, appropriate skills and practical experience to meet the challenges of working in their chosen field.
The modules offered cover theory, critical thinking, skills development and practical experience; they have been designed to allow students to demonstrate an ability to analyse historic and current debates in and about culture and the arts; to apply this analysis to contemporary practice, structures, funding and participation; and to relate both to the complex range of activities involved in ‘managing’ the arts and culture.

Programme Aims

  • To develop arts and cultural management knowledge and expertise at both theoretical and practical levels;
  • To engage students in current debates about development of the arts and cultural sectors, and to enable them to reflect on present challenges in the context of social, political and economic change;
  • To support the development of practitioners who can work in or around the sector in a range of roles, drawing on a broad mix of skills and experience;
  • To foster and support self-development through scholarly enquiry, peer discussion, evaluation, reflective practice and the application of scholarship and research to arts and cultural management practice;
  • To support the development of the skills necessary to lead, design and conduct a piece of original and/or innovative research, or to produce a substantial body of work for a range of partner arts and cultural organisations, underpinned by relevant analysis and reflection;
  • To provide opportunities for students to experience the aspects of arts and cultural management most relevant to their chosen career path.
