Project Management in the Cultural and Creative Industries (V4064)

15 credits, Level 5

Autumn teaching

In this module, you'll work in small groups to gain experience planning and managing arts projects.

You'll plan all aspects of a cultural project, briefed by a team of industry experts from Brighton Festival. You'll benefit from weekly workshops delivered by Sussex staff, as well as receive guidance and support to help combine creative and practical skills to ensure you bring your project to completion. Brighton Festival staff will also be your mentors, checking in with you and providing further guidance and feedback.

The module is assessed by a group presentation where you will pitch your project, including timelines, content and plans for fundraising, marketing and evaluation.

 

Contact hours and workload

This module is approximately 150 hours of work. This breaks down into about 22 hours of contact time and about 128 hours of independent study. The University may make minor variations to the contact hours for operational reasons, including timetabling requirements.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2025/26. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
