This module provides students majoring in Arts and Culture Management, with the opportunity to deepen and demonstrate mastery of one specialised area pertinent to arts and culture management. The module will provide a research and practical framework to enable students to initiate and design a self-contained project, and develop it from inception to completion. Through close consultation, students will develop and produce an individual and in-depth project on a particular aspect of arts and culture management. The format of the project is flexible, but a minimum of 50% of the work must involve original research/fieldwork. Upon completing this module, students should have significantly enhanced their understanding of a specific area or methodology in arts and culture management, as well as develop the competencies to design and manage projects of concrete and practical benefit to the broader arts and cultural ecosystem.
Students enrolled in ACM005 will design and develop a scholarly research project that critically analyses an issue within the field of arts management, as approved by the course coordinator. The research should ideally incorporate primary research and theoretical inquiry, so as to enable each student to develop a specialised understanding and knowledge of a particular area of arts management.
On successful completion of this project, students should be able to:
‣ Demonstrate an advanced understanding and knowledge of a specialised area in arts management, as well as be able to contextualise that area within current research, debates, policies and practices in the arts and associated cultural and creative industries
‣ Assemble and author a unique and independent research project from inception to development to completion
‣ Construct an argument relating to a specific area in arts management
‣ Apply multidisciplinary and inter-disciplinary arts management theories and evidence-based research
