“The systematic study on cultural management with various skills and methodology allows me to understand my job working as an art administrator in the Fine Art Institution by then so much better. It also leads me to a broader field of ‘museum’ bringing along further inquiries that had encouraged me to start my own business both in the creative industry and museum studies. The cultural theory and the research on cases all around the world are truly helpful for me as a strategy-maker as well as a pioneer practitioner. ” |

Coupled with the guidance from accomplished professors, students are provided the opportunities to develop new insights into cultural managerial practice. Lastly, with an international cohort from varied academic background, my time spent at CUHK MACUM broadened my perspectives, while discussions with my learned classmates honed my analytical skills.” |

ZHOU Mengchen 周夢琛 Lecturer in Arts Management, Wuhan Conservatory of Music, CHINA
“The most common thing when I tell my friends about my study experience is that I never regret coming to our Cultural Management Programme in CUHK. The international scope could provide us with tons of opportunities to explore the whole world. In this big family, we can meet with fresh ideas, professional knowledge, interesting arts pieces and excellent peers. For me, the best thing I have received in CM programme is the cute faculties here who are kind, brilliant, helpful and very competent. They are the ones who set great examples for me in my life and, of course, in my later teaching career.” |

LAI Kai King, Toby 黎啟勁 山下策劃 Mediators Rock - 共同創辦人
“修讀碩士課程的過程，不但讓我拓闊學術上的眼光，亦有機會可以嘗試一些工作以外的事情。例如籌辦2017年的《思前想後藝術節》的經驗，讓我可以對展覽策劃、設計，以至藝術節的活動執行有更深刻的體會。課程更觸發我對文化藝術的強烈的追求，於2021年7月夥拍另一位文管校友梁詠珊小姐共同創立「山下策劃 Mediators Rock」，冀望於商業環境中實踐「文化中介」的理念。” |

Dessislava Pirinchieva Art Director for Ocaña Barcelona: https://www.ocana.cat/en/,
“As being European, had been studying the MA in Cultural Management in Hong Kong gave me a global perspective about the cultural ecology and facilitated my ability to understand cultural policies and practices in a holistic way. The practicum I’ve done meanwhile my studies in non-profit organisation as Asia Society initiated an interest about strategies of fundraising and as well I required an important knowledge about the structure of a non-profit making project. Hong Kong is a unique place on the Earth. Its shape is always in movement and its content is constructed by multilayers. Understanding the context of Hong Kong through the cultural perspective is a vital experience which shaped me in a unrepeatable way. ” |

“The MACM program allows me to understand the concept of "cultural mediator" and its mission in a systematic and professional way for the first time. It enabled me to reflect on my favorite cultural industries through the inspiring perspective of cultural studies, and taught me to understand the processes of cultural production and consumption through the theories and methods of modern management science. These experiences have helped me to become more immersed and focused during my current research work, and have allowed me to gain a deeper comprehension of the work I am involved in related to the performing arts industry.” |
