Programme objectives
In the artistic and cultural world in general, and depending on each student's own professional goals, we train graduates who can:
-
manage a structure or a project in a self-employed capacity,
-
work in a decision-making capacity within a public institution, a private organisation, or a large-scale project.
We prepare our students to work in a local or international setting, in one of the following sectors depending on their interests: performing arts, literature, plastic arts, cultural heritage, or tourism.
Teaching team and methods
Programme's added value
Contact with the cultural sector: many of the Faculty's professors, in addition to their activity within this Master, work in the artistic and cultural field in Belgium: museums, public cultural institutions, cinema, etc. ULB's location at the heart of Brussels, as well as the professors' close relationship with the cultural sector, helps our students get in touch with professional cultural organisations at the national and international level.
Access conditions
Programme
The main subjects of the Master in Cultural Studies and Management are: the management of cultural institutions and companies; knowledge of arts and culture; the sociology of arts and culture; marketing in the field of arts and culture; cultural policies; and law applied to artists and cultural organisations.
Particular emphasis is placed on management: in order to work autonomously and responsibly, students must have considerable knowledge of the subjects involved: art history, law, accounting, marketing, communication, etc. This is why classes are given by academics who are specialists of these subjects.
Practice is also important in this programme, which teaches about practical aspects of various professions:
-
valuable immersive work placements will put students in contact with all types of cultural institutions both in Belgium and abroad;
-
by attending seminars hosted by professors and assistants, and by working on their dissertation, students will have the opportunity to complete an artistic or cultural project, from design to implementation, whether alone or in teams.
The dissertation lets students develop a critical view of the cultural sector at a national or international scale, both in terms of management and public policy.
