CULTURAL DIPLOMACY & INTERNATIONAL MUSIC MA

DURATION & STUDY MODE
September: 1 year full-time; January: 1.5 years full-time

The MA in Cultural Diplomacy & International Music educates professionals who intend to become involved in international diplomatic relations which function using the “soft power” of music.

These projects often work across boundaries where trade and political diplomacy have failed, hence retaining communication channels and inter-cultural connections. The emerging professional from the MA Cultural Diplomacy & International Music course requires not just an understanding of music and diplomacy but will gain an appreciation of: 

• Entrepreneurship 
• The global music industries
• Social media communication 
• Distribution platforms 
• Project management
• Negotiation skills 
• Language skills
• Team management abilities

You will graduate with an appreciation of useful strategies, policies and practices for advancing cultural diplomacy, and be able to apply these to a range of different circumstances. Having been exposed to real-life professional practice you will be well-versed in presenting your work to a range of stakeholders.
