After completion of their studies, the student of cultural management recognises their competencies and is able to assess, describe and actively develop them. They have a clear idea of their professional strengths.
PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCY PROFILE
The cultural manager's extensive competencies are needed in different productions in the creative sector and in administrative tasks in the public, private and third sectors. There is a need for the cultural manager's competencies in, e.g., the media and entertainment industry, publishing, sport-related productions, advertising and marketing organisations' productions, art productions (music, theatre, visual arts, TV, film), and game and other interactive productions.
PEDAGOGICAL APPROACH
The studies in cultural management are based on project learning, which means that starting from the first year, all the studies are integrated with working life. Individual courses are integrated into larger productions or projects, and students act in groups of different sizes. Students' team work skills and interactive skills develop through collective learning.
The teacher acts as the student's mentor and counsellor, who facilitates and supports the learning process. The student can also go in depth into the subareas of culture in which they are especially interested. The student's own career path is planned throughout their studies. Networking is of particular importance; for this, real cooperation with working life is sought throughout the studies.
Development
The curriculum of Cultural Management was updated in 2017. The reform was based on the cultural manager’s job description in 2030. The reform of the curriculum aimed to anticipate future changes in the cultural manager’s job description. Also students and an expert team from working life closely participated in the development of the curriculum. The new curriculum will be introduced in autumn 2018.
