Arts & the City

The City of Glasgow is one of the cultural centres in the UK. A UNESCO City of Music, it is home to 15 major concert and music venues, 13 museums and galleries and countless international festivals. Links with these organisations has allowed us to further develop work placements, invite guest lecturers, practitioner workshops and create research opportunities for our students. Our taught programmes are developed with an understanding of the current context of the creative, cultural and heritage sectors and with the specific needs of employers in mind. This means that whether you choose to follow an academic or professional pathway once completing your postgraduate qualification, you will be perfectly positioned to do so.
