MA Education in Arts & Cultural Settings offers an exciting opportunity to study at a world-class centre for music, dance, visual arts and literature where learning and participation is central to its artistic programme as well as being taught by leading academics in education research and teaching at King's. The programme is jointly taught by staff at Southbank Centre and the Department of Education and Professional Studies at King's. The programme is relevant to those who currently work, or those who aspire to work, within education, learning and participation in arts and cultural organisations and related sectors. Students will be encouraged to develop their academic research skills to become reflexive educators working in arts and cultural settings. The MA offers teaching in methodologies used for designing, delivering and managing education programmes as well as for working at the interface between education and culture. Learning will be set against the background of current theoretical debates around cultural value, education, audience development, social inclusion, culture and identity, professional ethics within the cultural sector, and the economics and ‘social’ value of art and culture.
