MASTER OF ARTS MANAGEMENT
Course Code V47
Course Code U59
The Master of Arts Management is a fee-paying, three-semester
programme for both Australian and overseas students. It is a
vocationally-based degree aimed at students who wish to improve
their management skills and gain expertise in the arts and
entertainment industries.
The course offers a unique career combination of business
administration and cultural management, providing an
understanding of both the management practices and the
environmental context in which the arts and arts organisations
operate. It addresses the training needs of management
practitioners across a wide 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. Credence is given during the course to the specialist
knowledge required for specific industry tasks such as the
management of art galleries and museums, performing arts venue
management or designing and managing cultural programmes in
urban or regional centres.
The central focus of the course is the provision and enhancement
of the knowledge and specific skills required to manage the
unique, idiosyncratic and diverse organisations that make up the
arts industry.
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.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Students will be expected usually to have completed an undergraduate
degree in the arts or a related field, together with
demonstrated interest and experience in the arts
industry/profession. Additionally, an interview is conducted to
provide information about the applicant's experiences, motivation
and goals.
Admission interviews are normally held in December. Applicants
are assessed against the following criteria:
• ability to communicate effectively, both orally and in
writing
• potential to complete the course with excellence
• professional approach and awareness of the arts
• previous experience
