Immersive pedagogy lies at the core of the learning experience of the MSc programme in managing the creative industries.

The Master of Science (MSc) programme in Creative Industries Management at KEDGE Arts School places immersive pedagogy at the heart of its teaching. The programme develops immersive pedagogy within French cultural organisations and engages with professionals from the cultural sector. This teaching approach ensures improved learning and employability for MSc students as they train at the heart of creative establishments.

Courses are conducted onsite at Parisian cultural organisations such as the Louvre Museum, Centre Pompidou, Paris Opéra, Théâtre Mogador, Madame Arthur, Bourse de Commerce-Pinault Collection, Louis Vuitton Foundation, and more. These experiences allow students to get plunged into creativity and gain a practical understanding of cultural management professions.

Throughout the year, we organise a few study trips to explore the creative industries in different regions, including Provence and Côte d'Azur, Normandy, New Aquitaine, Champagne, and more. These trips provide students with opportunities to interact with French cultural and creative companies in sectors such as art, heritage, music, cinema, crafts, fashion, tourism, and to experience the French way of life.

Our masterclasses offer students the opportunity to meet leaders, artists, and managers in the creative industries, either on our Paris campus or in situ.

We endorse a learning-by-doing approach: students actively participate in their learning through involvement in artistic and managerial projects, collaborating with our partner cultural and creative organisations and companies. Examples of such projects include assisting with the creation, production, content development, digital strategy formulation, and brainstorming on the enhancement of tourist offerings.

Every January, we host an international seminar during which international experts in the fields of arts and creative industries management deliver a benchmark management seminar. This seminar explores the unique characteristics of arts and creative industries management in different countries, including the USA, Canada, Australia, Italy, the UK, China, India, Japan, the Middle East, Senegal, and more.
