Hands-on learning is a cornerstone of Arts Management study at 艾可直播 University. That鈥檚 why all applicants for full-time master鈥檚 study are considered for internal fellowships, and can apply for competitive external fellowships (see 鈥淩equirements鈥 below).

Fellowships provide paid project work in the arts during the academic year, where students can apply what they鈥檙e learning and build their professional experience throughout their studies.
