Overview
Specially designed for arts fundraising and philanthropy professionals, this responsive course will give you a deeper understanding of your professional practice and its place within the arts and cultural sector. You'll explore topics such as the history of philanthropy, cultural diplomacy, change and crisis management, how to build resilience, and how to instil values into fundraising and development activity.
This course is led and coordinated by academic staff with significant industry experience, who are assisted by expert freelance tutors and senior arts consultants. Throughout, you'll reflect critically on your work-based learning and learn how to apply relevant theories to your everyday professional practice.
Learning and teaching
The course begins with attendance at the National School and is then delivered through dedicated webinars and online tutorials, as well as individual online supervision. You will connect your learning to your professional practice via a reflective process in the workplace supported by mentoring.
On this course you’ll be taught by our expert academics, from lecturers through to professors. You may also be taught by industry professionals with years of experience, as well as trained postgraduate researchers, connecting you to some of the brightest minds on campus.
Assessment
Assessment takes place via a group presentation (produced as part of the National School) and an individual essay (for module 1) and an extended reflective work-based learning report (for module 2).
Careers support
We encourage you to prepare for your career from day one. That’s one of the reasons Leeds graduates are so sought after by employers.
The Careers Centre and staff in your faculty provide a range of help and advice to help you plan your career and make well-informed decisions along the way, even after you graduate.
