Executive Master in Cultural Leadership
Online open evening
Wednesday 20 November 2024
5.30 — 6.15pm
Our 24-month Executive Master’s programme brings together cultural leaders, practitioners and academics to give you a 360 degree view of this global industry. Developed jointly by the RA and Maastricht University in the Netherlands, it provides participants with insights into arts business and management, along with critical perspectives in arts and culture, art law, research methods, personal leadership, technology and innovation, collecting and collections management, and exhibitions and events.
Designed for working professionals, the programme comprises week-long sessions in London and at Maastricht University campus. A thesis or professional project will allow you to apply your learning to real-world scenarios, and a study trip also complements the taught courses.
Throughout the course, our network of professionals, academics and scholars help participants take ownership of their cultural leadership development and goals, and guide them in career choices, as well as provide advice for entrepreneurs who want to set up their own business.
