Online Master's Course in Economics of Culture

BAICR Sistema Cultura and the School of Economics of Rome-Tor Vergata
University offer a 2007-2008 online master's course in Economics of
Culture, designed for people interested in culture management at an
international level.

BAICR Sistema Cultura is a nonprofit consortium of five important Italian
cultural institutions and an education centre. Economics of culture is the
international version of the master's degree Economics of Culture:
Policies, Management and Governance, one of the first in Italy to offer a
course on the relationship between economics and culture. Owing to the
success of this course, which has been running for eight years and
provided training to over 350 specialists, some of the world's top
researchers and experts are involved in the didactics. Didactic
methodology involves the teaching of theory based on the study of
fundamental literature and video lessons for in-depth analysis of best
practices. Focusing on the needs of the job market and job opportunities,
the programme includes operational links with enterprises, institutions
and cultural training centres (field projects, internships, case studies
etc), bearing in mind the participants' place of origin.

The programme looks at the economics, management, jurisprudence and design
of major cultural themes: art, entertainment, tourism, technology, and
religious heritage. The course gives participants the professional
qualifications to apply for management jobs both in public administration
offices and in the culture and tourism industry. It is designed for those
who want to work in cultural heritage, providing them with both theory and
practical skills founded on an in-depth knowledge of the specificities of
cultural products:

management skills

discussion forums. Each module includes one meeting where attendance is

optionally, an internship in a cultural sector enterprise. 75% of the
Master's is online and is open to anyone from anywhere in the world, all
