I completed a Master’s in Arts Management, Policy and Practice at the university. It was a great experience and certainly one I’ll never forget. The staff were really nice, classes were interesting but sometimes lacked focus. Studies included Cultural Policy (my least favourite, and most confusing class in my opinion), arts management, work placement and business in the arts. Business in the arts was the most useful thing to date. Funnily enough, the masters itself wasn’t the most useful thing to come out of it, but the work placement was. For my work placement, it landed me a job whilst I was still studying that I then went on to work in the following summer whilst doing the dissertation, then that was the most useful thing in getting me my current job. I don’t regret studying here, but I think the Masters could’ve been a lot more hands-on, I kind of felt that for the amount I paid for the course, the staff would be more hands-on and there would be more useful job skills included, a lot of it was still just theory.
