This course is designed to enable you to develop a career in the arts and festivals sector but also combine your studies with either Dance or Drama Studies. The course equips you with the skills in teamwork, marketing and management theory, fundraising, business planning, licensing, health and safety, programming and cultural policy, that you need to become a leader in the cultural arena in theatres, music venues, galleries, museums and festivals.

There are many job opportunities open to our graduates. Recent graduates have gone on to manage art organisations, set up their own events management company, work for large festivals such as Glastonbury, be employed by Paul McCartney’s management company Quest and as an events manager at Heston Blumenthal’s Dinner restaurant. You might want to be involved with developing and implementing policy on a strategic level like our graduate Katie Smith who was appointed events co-ordinator for the Culture Company, helping to deliver the programme for Liverpool ‘08 Capital of Culture. The diverse opportunities that will be open to you on graduation do have one thing in common: they demonstrate that our graduates are desirable professionals who are successfully meeting the challenges of a dynamic sector.
