Course Guide - Edith Cowan University

The course builds upon students' existing practical industry
experience, providing the theoretical and conceptual knowledge
and skills necessary to effectively manage the unique,
idiosyncratic and diverse organisations that comprise the arts
industry.
The course addresses the training needs of management
practitioners across a broad spectrum of the arts, and is
constructed so that fundamental administrative, financial,
marketing and management skills in the arts can be applied in a
variety of artistic contexts. Knowledge accumulated during the
course can be applied, for example, to performing and visual arts
companies, as well as to those organisations which may require
more specialised knowledge such as venues, galleries and
metropolitan and regional community arts programmes.
Specifically, upon completion of the course it is expected that
graduates will:
* demonstrate a knowledge of administrative, management,
marketing and financial skills as they pertain to the arts industry,
and relate this understanding to their own arts environments and
companies;
* demonstrate critical and analytical skills in relation to
management, planning and operation of arts organisations;
* combine management skills with specific and particular industry
practice;
* be better equipped to carry out their current duties and prepare
them for more significant roles.
A high level of performance in the Graduate Diploma will allow
students to progress to the Master of Arts Management.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Entry to the program will be by audition and interview.
Applicants will require an appropriate three year degree, or
equivalent, awarded by a recognised tertiary institution, or at least
five years relevant industry experience.

GRADUATE DIPLOMA OF BROADCASTING
Course Code U63
The Graduate Diploma of Broadcasting is designed principally for
journalism, media and communications graduates. It may also
attract graduates of other disciplines who wish to employ their
specialist knowledge in a broadcast media setting. The course
prepares students for employment as researchers, reporters,
presenters and producers in radio and television. Course content
includes the range of journalistic, presentation, technical and
people skills required by today's electronic media professionals.
MASTER OF ARTS (CREATIVE ARTS)
Course Code 696
The Master of Arts (Creative Arts) is a two-year, full-time Master
by research program for students who have completed an
undergraduate degree in the arts.
Students will be required to research, devise and produce new
works of art, or develop new approaches to arts practice. It is
expected that this activity will be a contemporary expression of
traditional arts practice leading towards new insights in the
selected field of study. The work will be exploratory, frequently
based around emerging methodologies of arts research, leading
usually to a performance, presentation, exhibition or publication
of significance.
Integral to research through the practices of the creative art/s in
question, the student is required to provide an appropriate written
record (between 20,000 and 30,000 words) of their research,
detailing their interrogative processes and artistic ideas in the
context of current professional knowledge. Together, the critical
practice and reflection constitute the thesis which is expected to
develop appropriate methodologies of inquiry and incorporate
current theoretical understandings of the discipline/s.
Where the thesis involves live performance, exhibition and/or
events, candidates are advised to pay attention to examination
procedures before the required final submission of the two
integral components in a form of documentation appropriate to the
research involved.
