M.A. course in Arts Management
Master’s degrees are consecutive or postgraduate courses, i.e. they follow on from a completed degree. The Master’s degree in Arts Management, offered at the Department of Musicology Weimar-Jena, generally follows a Bachelor of Arts degree. In terms of content, it is based on the B.A. course in Intercultural Music and Events Management, offered by the Department of Musicology, and culminates in a ‘Master of Arts’ degree (M.A.). The standard duration is four semesters.
Half of the M.A. in Arts Management serves to deepen selected politico-cultural (concepts of the culture state and culture economy), economic (including cultural monitoring and cultural branding) and academic (developments of modern and post-modern) content, methods and theories, on the basis of the fundamental skills gained during the B.A. studies. During the other half, students specialise by selecting a study profile in a particular sub-area within the subject of Arts Management or Musicology. The following profiles are offered within the M.A. in Arts Management:
Eine Hälfte des M.A. Kulturmanagement dient der Vertiefung ausgewählter kulturpolitischer (Kulturstaats- und Kulturwirtschaftskonzepte), -ökonomischer (u. a.

Während der jeweils anderen Hälfte spezialisieren sich die Studierenden durch die Wahl eines Studienprofils auf einem bestimmten Teilgebiet innerhalb des Studienfaches Kulturmanagement bzw. Musikwissenschaft. Folgende Profile werden im M.A. Kulturmanagement angeboten:
