Management issues are becoming increasingly important in the world of arts and culture. The aim of the Master in Management of the Cultural Sector is to prepare students to manage a structure or project from the arts or cultural sphere independently and to enable them to hold management level posts in a larger institution. In order to achieve this, students learn about the different facets of cultural activity and are required to develop an analytical approach to the management of the cultural sphere and to cultural and artistic policy. This Master's course has an international focus, drawing not just on Belgian, but also international case studies.
The Master in the Management of the Cultural Sector at the ULB is characterised by two main elements: the importance attached to management science, and the number and quality of the work placements offered to students. This approach, absolutely unique, aims to provide students taking the course with the maximum amount of professional assets needed for a career in the world of arts and culture.
The ULB's presence in the heart of Brussels and the close relations staff members responsible for the course foster with the managers of the major cultural institutions make it easier to find work placements in cultural bodies of international prestige.
The concept of a year of studies gives way to a system of accumulation of credits based on the student's individual programme. The cycle programme is offered in units of 60 credits. The units of 60 credits are proposed as an "ideal" course of study for students enrolled in this programme.
