Rationale for Module |
This module develops management knowledge, understanding and skills required in cultural organisations, with the aim of enhancing employability in cultural management. Central to the fulfilment of cultural organisations’ missions is their approach to programming: the design, selection and scheduling of activities for public consumption. By definition this is the basis for successful audience cultivation and development. As with the underpinning Level 1 module CM 190, the approach to teaching, learning and assessment is designed to bring students into direct contact with cultural management practice and to foster skills that are in demand in this sector. Given the unique, often non-commercial nature of cultural production and provision, the increasing scarcity of sources of finance, and the ever increasing competition for audiences, the module emphasises key challenges that are pertinent to the development and management of cultural operations. The module builds on the introductory Level 1 modules CM 190, BM 100, BM 110, BM 120, and serves as preparation for the Level 3 modules CM 330 and CM 390. Students will be encouraged to make connections between the ideas encountered in this and related modules at Level 2: MM 260, BM 200, BM 230, CM 250, MM 200. |
