The university's international networking enables close collaboration with technology developers, cultural event organizers, and the CME industry. The program places particular emphasis on the intersection of technology and art, culture, and communication. It is globally oriented, providing graduates with access to international career opportunities at the intersection of culture, technology, and creativity through partnerships with institutions in China, the Middle East, and the USA.

The Four Focus Areas of the Curriculum

The curriculum of the Arts Management program at JMLU focuses on the following four areas:

1. "Thought Leadership": This focus provides insights into various areas of cultural production, including popular music, visual arts, and media arts, offering a solid cultural studies education to promote qualified communication and exchange. This meets the growing demand for expertise in this field.

2. Digital Culture: Working conditions, financing, and business models in the arts and culture sector, intellectual property rights, and modern publishing are essential knowledge in the practice of Arts Management.
