About

Build your understanding of key academic debates and develop your business and management skills within an international arts and cultural context.

You’ll gain the practical tools needed to lead in a wide range of cultural organisations, including theatres, music venues, galleries, museums, and festivals. You’ll explore how political and economic factors influence the development of cultural products and services at international, national, regional, and local levels. The flexible course structure allows you to tailor your learning and specialise in areas that reflect your interests.

As a student, you’ll have the chance to contribute to DMU’s high-profile Cultural eXchanges Festival. Organised by final-year Arts and Festivals Management students, the festival showcases the creativity of DMU, Leicester, and wider contemporary culture. From 2025, it will run in partnership with Leicester City Council as part of the city’s Riverside Festival.

This course prepares you for a career in the fast-moving cultural sector, where you’ll learn to apply management theory to promote creative products and bring artistic visions to life.

Gain an honours degree in Global Arts Management in one year then go onto study Cultural Events Management MSc, gaining two degrees in two years. Many graduates have also gone on to pursue postgraduate studies in London and globally - including in Australia.
