Cultural Policy & Arts Management

Students undertake an eight-week internship with a cultural organisation, providing them with the opportunity to apply theoretical concepts from their programme to a practical work environment. This experience enables students to explore potential career paths and extend their professional networks. Typically, the internship is project-based, with the student working on a specific project identified by the host organisation and developed in collaboration with both the host organisation and the university.

The window for this is April-July each academic year.

• A primary degree at 2.1 level (Second Class Honours, Grade One) is normally required.  However, all applicants will be assessed on a case-by-case basis, and relevant or extensive work experience will be taken into account. 
• Transcripts should accompany an application, including grades for each subject taken in the primary degree.
• Some experience working in a cultural organisation in whatever capacity.
• Name and contact details of two referees.
• Admission is subject to interview either in person, by video skype, or telephone.
• Applicants whose first language is not English must also demonstrate English language proficiency of IELTS 6.5 (no band less than 6.0 in each element), or equivalent.

These are the minimum entry requirements – additional criteria may be requested for some programmes
