A music pathway has been added to this MA, which is run by the Department of Drama. Instead of specialist theatre courses you take one 30-CAT module from the MA Music or MMus programmes, and your dissertationplacementbusiness-plan will be directed towards musical organisations. This programme builds on London's position as one of the most important musical centres in the world, with a diverse range of concert halls, theatres, cultural institutions and arts events that reflect its cosmopolitan and multicultural society. Although professional management practice is a major element of the programme, the ?creative arts event? is the starting point for all teaching. The MA introduces the key issues that concern the management of culture and in particular those within the performing arts. Through both analysis of contemporary and recent practice, and practical work in a range of areas, you will develop a critical approach to the discipline. The programme provides an overview of the following areas: ?arts funding structures in the UK (with reference to EU countries and the USA) ?marketing for the arts ?audience development ?sponsorship ?education programmes within the arts ?programming ?culture and tourism ?cultural policy (including the role of the arts in national and cultural identity) and principles and structures of management The aim of taught classes, projects and placements is to introduce you to new models of practice. These will be investigated and evaluated as a way of developing an understanding of management principles. Through this process, you will also be equipped with the necessary practical skills to enhance your potential as arts administrators. Music Pathway You will take one module from a wide range of MA Music and MMus options available. This will give you the opportunity to explore musical issues that especially interest you, and which you can develop as part of your portfolio of professional skills as an arts administrator.

You will receive guidance on this at the beginning of your programme. Assessment: A written assignment for each course-unit, contributing to your portfolio of work for the MA programme as a whole.
