The MA Festive Arts is a unique, one year programme that focuses on the development of festivals and their role in society. The programme combines practical production skills and arts management with curatorial theory, and opportunities for students to develop their own creative practice as festival makers and arts managers. Students engage in a central internship module with a festival or arts organisation.

The MA Festive Arts programme is suitable for students from a wide range of backgrounds. Past students have come to the programme following study in arts and humanities, performance, or from industry experience as artists, musicians, community musicians, or arts managers.
