The 2010 Brochure is available for download here.

The AIM Master of Arts Management degree presented at Sydney Opera House provides post graduate business education specially tailored for work in the arts, entertainment and music industries. It is a coursework degree providing knowledge and skills in disciplines such as marketing, entertainment law, accounting, strategy and general management. Commercial or not for profit focus can be accommodated, and students acquire the knowledge, skills and confidence to make immediate impact in the workplace. Students also have the opportunity to under take a Major Project, which can be specifically designed to create business outcomes for a sponsor organisation.

The course can be undertaken full-time over one year or part-time over two. It is possible to push this out further if your circumstances make it difficult to complete within the normal timeframe. Each subject or ‘module’ requires attendance at a two day seminar, held on a Friday and a Saturday. This structure is designed to reduce the impact on busy working lives. Unlike most postgraduate educational programs, the dates you will be required to attend are announced well in advance (in fact, they are all listed in this brochure). If you select a program of study and find that work or other commitments arise that clash with a seminar, we do permit seminar swaps, so that your progress is unaffected.

In 2010 there will be one main intake commencing in February. There will be no formal ‘July intake’, as applications will be accepted throughout 2010 subject to places being available. To be guaranteed a place in 2010 intake, students are encouraged to apply for the February intake. Generous donations from Michael Smellie and Professor Bob Robertson have enabled us to establish a scholarship fund for an indigenous student. We are happy to enter into discussions with prospective students who would be interested in applying for this assistance. The value of the scholarship will be at least $9,000. Applicants will need to address the standard admission criteria.

* Late applications for the 2010 program will be accepted from outstanding candidates and Indigenous applicants wishing to apply for the $14,000 indigenous scholarship.

Please email me at psaintilan@aim.edu.au if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you at one or more of the 2010 seminars.
