  • Advanced arts management courses that teach important skills, like starting and running arts projects and using digital tools to support them.
  • Field trips to see how different art forms work, giving students a hands-on experience of how arts organisations operate.
  • Courses on research methods to help students study and understand how cultural industries work, including how people connect and work together through social networks.
  • Design and urban studies courses to show students how to combine art and management ideas and to see how arts can make cities more welcoming for everyone.
  • Internship or cultural research study, where students can either work with a cultural organisation or do a research project on the arts with help from their professor.
