Nantes University

During a term at Nantes University for the CLMCE programme, students engage in a variety of courses.

They start with an introduction to business and sustainability management for cultural institutions, focusing on sustainable practices and ethical management. Marketing for cultural institutions covers audience development, digital marketing, and strategic communication. Organisational behaviour, innovation, and entrepreneurship for cultural institutions explore leadership styles and creative problem-solving. The online course from Glasgow, Children's Literature for a Diverse World, examines global perspectives and themes of inclusion and representation in children's literature. Finally, the placement with publishers or libraries provides hands-on experience, allowing students to apply their knowledge in real-world settings and build professional networks.

This term equips students with both theoretical knowledge and practical experience, preparing them for successful careers in the cultural sector.
