The Doctorate of Arts and Cultural Management programme offers an interdisciplinary education that enables students to analyse the components of the culture and arts industry, examine the structures and policies of these two fields within a social, economic, and political framework at both a local and international level, while also providing opportunities to join academic and professional networks.
The programme is designed for candidates who have previously had academic or professional experience in the arts and culture field, as well as for those who have started working or researching in this field. The programme aims to equip students with the necessary tools to examine, discuss, and develop creative approaches to cultural and artistic infrastructure and institutions and the production and management dynamics within this sector, offering a broad perspective on cultural and arts management, cultural policies, governance, civil society, the role of the culture and arts sector in the global economy, and studies in the field of arts and cultural management.
The programme offers opportunities to those who wish to pursue an academic career or work in the cultural sector, as well as to professionals who want to develop their professional experience in an interactive project environment.
With its two specialised sub-headings (Cultural Studies/Arts and Cultural Management), the Doctorate of Arts and Cultural Management offers an interdisciplinary programme that includes courses in the fields of culture, arts, philosophy, film and television, history, communication studies, business administration, and sociology. The programme is designed to develop a comparative and multidisciplinary approach to analysing the meaning maps of the today’s world. With its multidisciplinary curriculum, which will be conducted by experts from various fields both domestically and internationally, the programme aims to systematically examine the asymmetrical relationships between different social groups and identities that create and are created by these meaning maps. Offering a rich variety of courses, the programme aims not only to provide an educational environment but also to bring together academics and students to conduct research. With its broad perspective and two specialised sub-headings, our programme is a unique doctoral programme in the region. Therefore, it stands out in terms of providing a significant alternative, especially for academics who are oriented towards these fields in their academic careers, to serve this gap in the field.
