Experience of studying abroad in art management at Manchester University. The interdisciplinary master's program in art management, policy and practice at Manchester University covers a wide range of professional knowledge related to operating art organizations and coordinating arts and cultural programs and activities, as well as the strategic development of art forms, cultural leadership practices and local cultural management.

You will use a wide range of literature and resources, from creative art, drama, music, art history, critical theory and cultural economics to business research, organizational research and critical cultural policy research.

　　 University of Manchester Curriculum

　　 ✅ Full time students need 180 credits in total, 60 credits for the first semester and the second semester respectively, and 60 credits for the graduation thesis in the third semester

　　 ✅ In the first semester, there is no need to choose courses. Two professional courses are fixed: art management; Cultural policy

　　 ✅ In the second semester, there are 12 courses to choose from. The specific course selection list is attached in Figure 2. At this stage, it is necessary to grab courses. The popular one is work placement, business strategies,curating art

As far as I know, many students choose the internship course in order to have an internship opportunity, but in fact, I think this course is not so meaningful. First of all, there are few good posts. It is easy to lose the position if more than one person grabs one. Secondly, the role is marginal.

Take our group as an example. I was assigned to the Royal Conservatory of Music as an archivist; Some interns in the marketing department of Manchester University just send emails to students every day; Internship in the art gallery is to receive visitors at the front desk

Although some people have good experience, the gold content is not very high in most cases, so we should consider whether it is suitable to put it into CV

　　 Assignment/Punch in Inspection:

　　 ✅ Before each class, there will be materials and literature that need to be previewed. Seminar will discuss the literature, and there is almost no homework for the class

　　 ✅ Classroom performance is not included in the final total score; Some classes will have group work, which needs to be reported to ppt and included in the total score

　　 ✅ The class management of MANU is relatively loose, and the class needs to be signed in, but the sign in system can be completed anywhere. Generally, there is no roll call, which can be said to rely on self-consciousness

　　 Employment direction

It is quite extensive, and the work related to cultural and artistic creativity can be done. The conventional direction is theater, art gallery, museum, gallery, brokerage company, advertising company, Internet, etc

But it can only be regarded as a stepping stone, and it still needs to accumulate relevant experience

　　 Comprehensive experience

In addition to classes, some study tours and other activities will be organized, but the experience is not as good as expected, and of course not bad. The teaching content is not very in-depth. It stays on the surface and is more like an entry-level project. It is not enough for undergraduate students who want to further study in art management. In terms of art resources, Manchester City is far inferior to London, which also needs careful consideration

Is Alto University difficult to take an exam?
