Why QMU?
The importance of culture, in its many

support it are recognised by politicians

significant contributor to measures of
economic wealth and prosperity, and to
the growth of social diversity and
progress. Culture is a defining
characteristic of identity and heritage,
and creates experiences that stimulate
individual curiosity and the expansion of
the imagination. People enjoy culture and
contribute to it in diverse ways.
Postgraduate study at QMU is focused
on the challenges and problems that
arise in moving from the imagination and
curiosity to creation and organisation. It
addresses a variety of situations, from
globally recognised companies to

and understanding gained through
