Master of Arts in Arts Management and Heritage Studies

Program Overview

In the Arts Management and Heritage Studies MA you'll develop your understanding of the changing political, policy and practice contexts within which the arts and heritage sectors operate today, building a strong foundation to become a leader in the field.

You'll explore the nature of heritage and how meanings of objects, artworks and buildings change in different contexts. You'll examine the challenges faced by arts managers and cultural leaders, and the changes that have led some museums to move towards the role of the ‘manager’ rather than the ‘curator’.

A wide range of optional modules allow you to tailor your Masters to your interests or career plans – including the opportunity to undertake a work placement or consultancy project role in either arts management or heritage. Previous students have undertaken placements focused on collections, digitisation work, digital interpretation and community engagement.

If you’re considering a career in this sector, or if you are currently working as a professional, this Masters course will develop your knowledge, understanding and practical experience, to prepare for your next step.

Supported by our Centre for Critical Studies in Museums, Galleries and Heritage, you'll benefit from our partnerships with major arts and cultural organisations to find out what it means to work in this challenging sector.
