Graduate Certificate in Arts Management
RMIT University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia
About this program
The Graduate Certificate in Arts Management is an embedded exit award reachable at the end of the first semester (48 credit points) of RMIT's Master of Arts (Arts Management), MC280. RMIT's own course page for the Master states plainly that students have the opportunity to exit the degree at the end of their first semester and graduate with this certificate. It covers the introductory arts management subjects that open the Master's course, giving students a foundation in arts management practice, including work relevant to festivals, events, museums, and community, education and government sector roles, before the Master's later electives and major project. RMIT is ranked number one in Australia and 19th in the world for art and design in the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2026.

Course structure
1 term of coursework
- This is the first-semester (48 credit point) exit point of the Master of Arts (Arts Management) (MC280, CRICOS 103234C, program code MC280, delivered at City Campus). Students complete the core arts management subjects that begin the Master's 192-credit-point structure
- then exit formally with this certificate instead of continuing into the full two-year degree. RMIT's published course page for MC280 does not break this first semester out into an independent
- separately itemised unit list for the standalone certificate
- so specific subject/unit names for the certificate on its own are not independently published and are not stated here
Admissions
RMIT does not publish separate entry requirements for this certificate; it is reached by exiting the Master of Arts (Arts Management) (MC280) early, so admission is assessed against the Master's published academic requirements: successful completion of an Australian bachelor degree (or equivalent overseas qualification), or at least 5 years of relevant work experience or professional practice in a field directly related to arts management (a CV and personal statement detailing that experience must be included if relying on professional experience in place of a degree). There are no prerequisite subjects required for entry.
