This program is for you if you would like to be a cultural manager, if you are independent, if you have entrepreneurship affinity and good organizational skills, and if you have a good style both in writing and speaking. We expect graduates both from art and design programs and, design and art theory students. Also, we would love to have you in our program if you are coming from the field of economics or technology but are interested in the management of businesses in the field of culture.
We expect graduates from the most diverse preliminary education, from the arts and humanities or economics, but we are open to accepting students from other fields too. The vivid community of our students is guaranteed by the different skills and expertise of the members. We expect anyone interested in the management of culture and the creative industries in the most diverse sense.
The world of culture and art is in need of professionals who can facilitate the birth and realization of progressive and valuable initiatives. Institutions and actors in the world of art need professional leaders, executives and organizers who are able to coordinate and navigate in the field of art theory but are also aware of how to economically create, run and sustain art and design institutions. Professionals are needed who have practical skills and are able to utilize their knowledge locally and globally.
Those completing the Art and Design Management MA program become professionals who are capable of developing and managing the product structure of for-profit and non-profit actors in the arts and creative sector, such as museums, arts venues, communication agencies, festival organizing companies and so on. Professionals graduating from our program are able to build and maintain domestic and international relations in the field and gain extensive knowledge about the contemporary art and design scene and its trends.
