Arts and Cultural Management University of Lincoln

Overview

You may be at the start of your career, or perhaps you've already begun to establish yourself as a practicing artist, independent producer, arts manager, or freelance creative. However you are looking to develop your practice and skills, expand your networks, and use your creativity to create change, University of Lincoln's Arts and Cultural Management has been designed to provide the tools for you to succeed.

We've worked alongside nationally significant organisations such as UK New Artists and Threshold Studios to develop our curriculum and so industry connections and live briefs are hard-wired into the programme. From the start of teaching, you will be meeting and talking to professionals from across the sector, working in a variety of roles and contexts. You will have opportunities to hear directly from potential employers and specialists, and receive bespoke advice to support your own career trajectories through our Professional Practice Clinic.

Based on the beautiful Brayford Pool Campus, and with significant professional and public engagement with Lincoln Arts Centre and the Barbican Creative Hub, (opening 2024), this programme can help you to take your ideas further and create your own opportunities for success.
