I had the privilege to be the external academic examiner of the Master of Arts in Arts Management programme in 2008-2009. The programme is intended for ambitious young professionals with a desire to advance themselves further in the creative industry.This is the only Master of Arts in Arts Management programme in Europe that works with the practice based research model. This means that both theory and practice are continuously linked to the creative industry.
