5 Presentation Cultural Managers are multi-skilled and multi-disciplinary professionals whose work is carried out right in the centre of policies, institutions, and, above all, cultural projects. In fact, they are key players in the inner workings of the cultural system. Along with a rich cultural baggage and a special sensitivity towards artistic creation, cultural managers have to have indepth knowledge about the work processes involved in the design, production and dissemination of cultural products or services. There are some elements shared between all of these, in other words, certain procedures, systems and strategies which managers use. These tools are key to the academic programme for this Master s course, since they set out the basic functions of cultural managers in their professional environment. Further theoretical material is added to this nucleus and the two pathways towards specialisation- either visual arts and cultural heritage, or creative cultural industries- provide a more in-depth look into the work dynamic which is specific to each of these cultural sectors. This Arts and Cultural Management study programme came into existence in the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya in the year 2000 with the aim of providing students and professionals with a comprehensive education in this field. This is based on three key characteristics: a highly practical approach, an international approach and a strong emphasis on entrepreneurship. This programme is taught within the city of Barcelona, which has a top class cultural provision and cultural projects which have an impact at an international level. It is a cosmopolitan city in which the cutting-edge, creativity and innovation coexist with a rich artistic and cultural heritage, and this adds a unique character to the city and its inhabitants. Centre responsible Faculty of Humanities Campus Barcelona Campus Credits 60 ECTS Schedule From October 2015 to July 2016 Timetable Monday to Friday between 17:00 and 21:00 Language This Master s programme is divided into two groups: one group is taught in Spanish and the other is taught exclusively in English. 5

6 Objectives This UIC s Master s Degree provides a comprehensive education in arts and cultural management. The objectives of the programme are set out below: 1. To provide a theoretical reflection on culture in the 21st century as well as its social impact. 2. To raise awareness of those elements which make up cultural policy at local, national and international levels. 3. To teach students how to analyse the cultural fabric of a society and formulate diagnoses which identify both needs and opportunities. 4. To teach students how to apply management tools to issues of finance and financial management, human resources, marketing and communication, programming and cultural productions. 5. To promote personal skills in terms of entrepreneurship. 6. To raise awareness of the specific management of each cultural sector. 7. To teach students to evaluate cultural projects and programmes. 8. To help students become incorporated into professional practice. 9. To promote a sense of social responsibility and a commitment to ethics.

7 Aimed at This Master s course is aimed at university degree-holders (with or without work experience) who are interested in analysing the specific problems involved in cultural management and receiving a comprehensive education which equips them to develop professionally within the cultural sector. It is especially recommended for: - Recent young graduates or those with little experience who would like to acquire specific knowledge about cultural management and become incorporated into the labour market based on theoretical and practical training. - Active professionals or those with various years of experience who would like to improve their education in some/any of the cultural management fields, in terms of methodology and/or management processes. Methodology This programme takes a highly practical approach. Theoretical presentations are combined with analysis and the discussion of practical cases in the classroom. These classes are complemented with visits to cultural institutions and conference cycles given by experts in the field. The content within the curriculum is taught by specialised lecturers/professors as well as professionals with experience in each of the different areas of arts and cultural management.

8 Curriculum The curriculum is divided into five modules: three of them correspond to the subjects providing the theoretical and practical framework of the Master s course and are divided into three terms, from October to July. In the third trimester students can choose between two different pathways which correspond to two specialisations within the field of culture: Management of the visual arts and heritage (in Spanish) and Management of creative cultural industries (in English). The fourth and fifth modules are dedicated to professional work experience and the Master s Final Project and will be undertaken throughout the duration of the academic year. Module 1: Theoretical-practical principles for the cultural manager First term (from October to December) Module 2: Tools for cultural management Second term (from January to March) Society and culture in the 21st century Cultural institutions and policies Tools for managing culture Legal aspects of arts management Funding for culture Cultural communication Cultural marketing Creation of cultural companies Module 3: Analysis and management of cultural sectors Third term (from April to July) Pathway 1.

9 Work experience programme The work experience is one of the main cornerstones of the Master s curriculum since it ensures that students are able to join cultural companies or institutions, apply the knowledge they have acquired throughout the course, and develop professional competences which are specific to cultural managers. There are currently more than 130 cultural entities collaborating on our work experience programme. These work placements are awarded with a total of 12 credits which is equivalent to around 250 / 300 practical hours and they will be carried out during the academic year or over the summer. The cultural project involves creating a proposal for an innovative product, programme or cultural service which is viable and sustainable to produce within the framework of today s society. The project will be carried out throughout the duration of the academic year and students will be advised by a team of tutors who are experts in designing and undertaking cultural projects. 9
