The Graduate Certificate in Arts Management is a fee-paying,  four - unit programme conducted over two semesters.  Aimed at both Australian and overseas students, the course provides an introduction to key theories and concepts associated with the arts management function, focussing particularly on the areas of management, marketing, finance and law as they relate to the arts industry.

The course equips students with fundamental knowledge and skills which will serve to augment existing practical arts experience and can be applied in a wide variety of arts contexts, including those areas which require specialist knowledge, such as venue management, gallery management and metropolitan and regional community arts programmes.

Specifically, upon completion of the course it is expected that graduates will:

* demonstrate an understanding of the various theoretical constructs relating to management, marketing, finance and law as they pertain to the arts industry.

* apply this understanding to their own arts organisation

* demonstrate critical and analytical skills in relation to management, planning and operation of arts organisations

* combine management skills with specific and particular industry practice

* be better equipped to carry out their current duties and prepare them for more significant roles.

Satisfactory performance in the Graduate Certificate will allow students to progress to the Graduate Diploma in Arts Management.
