This year the University of Manchester are looking for a number of suitable roles in which to place postgraduates who can undertake a variety of tasks and activities as part of their course. These placements can run from November 2021 to May 2022 and should comprise a minimum of 15 days work.
These placements are for students on MA programmes in Arts Management, Policy and Practice, Art Gallery and Museum Studies, Heritage Studies and Film Studies. The students have a wide variety of skills, knowledge and interests in, for example:
- Digital marketing and social media campaigns
- Contemporary collecting and digital exhibition making
- Fundraising and grant funding applications
- Evaluation and audience analysis
- Enterprise, freelancing and consultancy for the cultural sector
Examples of former placement projects
The University of Manchester understand the impact the Covid-19 continues to have on the cultural sector, particularly with access to premises/desk space still an issue. So this year, the placement programme can be either: on-site with students working from your organisation; remote-only with students working from home; or a blended option with students working both at home and at your organisation.
