You'll explore the intersection of creative industries and cultural preservation in one of Africa's most artistically rich study environments. Arts management and heritage programs in South Africa cover curatorial practice, cultural policy, event production, fundraising for the arts, and the stewardship of historical collections.
The academic environment fosters independent inquiry and a strong sense of critical reflection.
