The International Master’s degree in Managing Art & Cultural Heritage in Global Markets (MAGMa), aims to equip art and cultural heritage professionals with the skills necessary to a growing field worldwide. MAGMa’s holistic view of art and culture does not separate collecting activities from heritage, nor the work of contemporary artists from the preservation of historic artworks. MAGMa also addresses the mechanisms of exclusion associated with the Western artistic canon and the conditions that have produced today’s contested sites and collections. The MAGMa curriculum is delivered by an upper-education consortium that offers mobility between Lisbon (University of Lisbon and University Institute of Lisbon), Paris (IESA arts&culture), Glasgow (University of Glasgow), and Rotterdam (Erasmus University).
