Master Arts and Cultural Management

The Arts and Cultural Management Masters to be run by the Professional School and the Goethe-Institut from 2018 is an innovative new English-language, professional, distance-learning cultural management programme that will train cultural professionals from all over the world to deal with transformation processes in the culture sector. Comprehensive international cultural management with a key focus on the interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary combination of cultural and business studies is at the centre of the programme. You will look at the risks posed and opportunities offered by current developments such as demographic change, digitisation and globalisation in relation to cultural institutions, and develop long-term strategies to make your organisation fit for the future.

Over the course of your cultural management degree, you will study the operation of cultural institutions, and various players and stakeholders on the culture market. The programme covers different factors and environments affecting applied cultural management in an international context. You will explore issues such as

  • Social, political and cultural transformation processes
  • Management and finance
  • Culture marketing; communication and branding
  • Organisational development
  • Audience development
  • International partnerships
  • Market and business analysis
  • Reception of culture and cultural theory
  • Law in cultural organisations
  • Sustainability and social responsibility
  • Culture policy

A WEALTH OF CHOICE: THE PROGRAMME TO MEET YOUR NEEDS

The program offers various versions of the Arts and Cultural Management Masters to meet your specific professional development needs. You can take a 4-semester course worth a total of 90 credit points or a 3-semester course worth a total of 60 credit points, and choose from a range of mandatory electives. The curriculum includes a total of three certificates, and you can also study for these individually.

DISTANCE-LEARNING CULTURAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME WITH A FOCUS ON INTERNATIONAL PRACTICE

A key aspect of the Cultural Management Masters is honing your practical skills. That is why case studies and projects in which you develop solutions to real scenarios in global practice are an integral part of the programme. This practical aspect also gives you the opportunity to raise and explore problems from your everyday work. Students are therefore not just learners: you are an expert in your own institutional and cultural environment and share your knowledge of practice with others on the course.

Discussions, group work and interdisciplinary projects further promote the exchange of knowledge, and teaching staff with experience in international roles and experienced culture managers from the Goethe-Institut will provide valuable practical insights.
