PG Dip Arts Management

... United Kingdom
... Birkbeck University of London

Course Overview

The Postgraduate Diploma in Arts Management gives you the chance to explore the requirements and benefits of sustainable and strategic arts policy and management. You will analyze leadership contexts and power relations in bringing together policy and managerial approaches related to current trends and issues. Examples of this include work to address gender imbalances through art activism, diversity, and equity through intersectional applications and the interpretation of cultural values as cultural policy rationales. You will evaluate art productions and audiences as seen through an art policy and management lens.

The course balances theory and practice within the context of the current social, political, economic, and technological environments. We invite you to develop and expand your key critical-thinking skills in smaller discursive seminar groups focusing on public and voluntary sector arts organizations but also address key commercial sector issues.

We take a sustainable approach to career development that allows you to enjoy your studies and apply innovative and creative thinking for years to come.

Graduates can pursue career paths in the national and international arts and cultural sectors in, for example:

  • development and marketing

  • audience development

  • strategic planning

  • programming and curating

  • management of art collectives and networking hubs.

Jobs gained by some of our graduates include:

  • Director of the Jerwood Foundation

  • Co-ordinator at the Nordic Council of Ministers

  • Tour Manager at Sadlers Wells

  • Development Officer at Bow Arts Trust

  • Executive Producer at Strelka Institute for Media, Architecture, and Design

  • Marketing Officer at the opera company Teatro Real, Madrid

  • International Programmer at Taipei Performing Arts Centre

We offer a comprehensive Careers Service - Birkbeck Futures - your career partner during your time at Birkbeck and beyond. At every stage of your career journey, we empower you to take ownership of your future, helping you to make the connection between your experience, education, and future ambitions.
