MA Arts Management

After graduating with a BA in Music from the University of Nottingham, Siân started studying for the MA Arts Management in 2020, undertaking work placements at RWCMD as well as at the BBC National Orchestra of Wales.

Siân progressed into the industry as a Development Assistant at Sadler’s Wells Theatre, before being promoted to Corporate Partnerships & Events Coordinator. In her current role, Siân supports all aspects of corporate fundraising through delivering bespoke events and other benefits to corporate sponsors, as well as creating engaging sponsorship proposals to attract support.

After nine months at Sadler’s Wells, Siân will soon be moving to the London Philharmonic Orchestra (LPO) as Corporate Relations Manager; a role that will offer her additional challenges and an opportunity to make a significant impact on the LPO’s corporate portfolio through building creative proposals and working with the musicians on creating occasions for sponsors.

For Siân the fundraising module as part of the MA Arts Management was instrumental in choosing her career option, and the industry knowledge as part of the MA also significantly helped accelerate her career, which enabled her to progress to management level within one year of completing her studies.
