DL822 BA [Hons] Arts Management

Develop hands-on experience working in the business side of the creative industries. Run events in music, visual arts, and the performing arts. Learn to market and manage in the exciting world of heritage, tourism and the cultural industries. Arts Management is the only undergraduate degree of its type in Ireland. It provides a business education but with a twist, by combining public relations and event management with the study of arts administration, the music industry and cultural policy, it gives graduates the opportunity to work in the creative sector or in more general business roles.
