Structure

This programme is available for one year full-time study. The course is comprised of both compulsory and elective modules. To encourage the interdisciplinary nature of the course you are required to take electives outside of the School of Business and Management. Therefore, you will have the opportunity to undertake elective modules relating to specialised areas, including Drama, Film/Media and Geography. In collaboration with partner organisations and with degrees of co-supervision, as and when possible, being handled by both QMUL academics and sector practitioners, you will gain practical experience in business and public engagement strategy, organisational behaviour, and global value chain ecologies in arts and cultural organisations in London. You will also form groups and co-create a specific research brief for one organisation. This research work will feed your dissertations /project submission (Assessed Essay submitted in semester 3; placement to be conducted over three semesters).
