Course Description:

'' The Master of Arts in Cultural Leadership is intended for professionals from diverse arts and cultural industry backgrounds: people employed in large and small institutions, as well as those working as consultants, researchers or engaged in freelance work.

The program will equip you with a sophisticated understanding of the complex and changing economic, social and political contexts in which the arts and cultural sectors operate, the role of leadership, and the strategic research and management expertise necessary for successful cultural leaders.

The Cultural Leadership programs incorporates personal leadership assessment, reflection and enquiry, opportunities for professional networking, and workshops conducted by leading guest speakers to introduce participants to a particular institution, policy context or leadership challenge.

Multidisciplinary courses incorporate current developments, trends and theory in order to ensure that learnings are practical and immediately applicable.

Modules will link with your workplace, validate and strengthen existing leadership skills and enhance your ability to do your job by encouraging you to deal with real issues and situations.

Attendance
The four core courses will be offered over 8 weeks through an innovative combination of background readings, intensive workshop blocks, online discussions and applied assignments. The intensive workshop blocks will be delivered at the South Bank campus over designated weekends. There will be a total of 30 contact hours, across 2 intensive weekends, per core course. Online course delivery will be designed to build a community of inquiry. On-line resources will be developed to assist students to contribute to the on-line discussions and applied assignments. It is expected that students will have access to reliable computer facilities on a regular basis, so that they can participate fully in the program.

The Practice Study option, in which students will conclude their studies with project activity for the program - an experiential portfolio or thesis - will be designed and monitored closely by their academic advisor in consultation with the Program Convenor. The Program Convenor, will facilitate placement of students with cultural institutions locally, nationally or internationally. Ordinarily, placements will be of two to four weeks duration. Students will be required to fund all travel and accommodation costs associated with their placement.

Professional recognition
While the Master of Arts in Cultural Leadership will not lead to professional accreditation, its development is informed by research currently being undertaken within the Faculty as part of an ARC Linkage project with the major performing arts centres of Australia - Sustaining Culture. Discussions with cultural institutions and organisations of significance in Australia and North America have ensured that the curriculum addresses the key issues around professional practice and cultural leadership. Students will be placed with these, and other, organisations as part of the professional practice component of the degree.

Career opportunities
Graduates will be prepared for employment in Arts and cultural administration; Arts, media and cultural industries; Community arts; Dance and theatre companies; Music industry; Festivals and events; Museums and galleries; government arts and cultural departments; and Cultural research.
