Goldsmiths, University of London, BA (Hons), Arts Management

This programme will equip you for working life in the cultural and creative industries, with a specific focus on working in and managing the arts.

These industries are an important and expanding sector in the global economy. In this programme, you will develop a powerful combination of theoretical insights and practice skills that will lead to success in this sector.

You’ll learn how to manage arts and creative organisations, from micro-businesses through to major international arts institutions. This will prepare you for a career in this fascinating area that covers a number of the creative industries: museums, galleries, theatres, dance and live music venues, and software and film companies.

The programme is taught with guest lectures from and opportunities to visit international, regional and London-based cultural organisations, so you’ll gain direct experience of professional practice, and you may benefit from a work placement as part of your studies.

You’ll learn fundamental arts management skills but you’ll also choose from a wide variety of option modules covering both theory and practice from departments including Music, Politics, and Theatre and Performance. 

With the wide range of skills you’ll develop, you’ll graduate understanding not only the practice within your chosen field, but also how it relates to the theory you’ve learned. So your career decisions – whether as manager or entrepreneur – will be properly informed.
