*2009 Program now available in the 'Download Brochure' section.
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 2009 there will be one main intake commencing
in February. There will be no formal ‘July intake’, as
applications will be accepted throughout 2009 subject
to places being available. We anticipate that there will
be fewer places available in 2009 than there were in
2008, and so to be guaranteed a place 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.
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
2009 seminars.
