| UCD has offered MA and MLitt programmes in Cultural Policy and Arts Management from September 2001. Building on fifteen years of the Higher Diploma in Arts Administration, the development of the first MA and MLitt in Cultural Policy and Arts Management in Ireland has been designed to maintain the national leadership role which UCD occupies in this area. The underlying rationale for these courses includes the strong demand for higher standards of education in the sector, in particular for education which takes place in the working environment as well as in the university. In response to increasing professionalism in the cultural field, the course is designed to respond to the substantial growth of publicly funded arts provision and the growing awareness of the social and economic importance of the arts. The academic and intellectual standards of the programmes are commensurate with the highest level of international developments in this sphere. In recent years, the course has attracted numbers of high calibre international students, which has helped to enrich the learning experience for participants. It has also informed a greater emphasis oninternational practice and comparative approaches to the way courses are delivered. |
