Schedule

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
The course takes the form of a series of lecture-debates given by actors and analysts from the world of cultural policies and institutions, both in Belgium and abroad. The timetable and programme are set at the beginning of the academic year (occasional changes are possible due to the availability of speakers).
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The objective of the course is to raise students' awareness of the interactions between politicians and cultural institutions; to shed light on the general themes and practical methods which govern production and cultural management in large institutions (operas, orchestras, theatres, festivals, publishing houses, cultural centres, etc.); to put students in touch with major players in these institutions.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
An introductory session at the beginning of the year explains how the course works and the assessment criteria in force. Two (compulsory) methodology sessions will then be held during the term to help students learn how to link an article to their own reflections and the content covered in the lectures. Finally, a (compulsory) feedback session will take place at the start of the second term to review the work submitted during the January session.

Further information:
Written assessments in January (40 per cent of the final mark) and in June (60 per cent of the final mark). Both assessments follow a similar format: an in-sitting essay on the content of the three lectures from the previous term, the focus of which will be guided by a question provided at the time of the exam. The content of the lectures must be linked to the academic literature specified by the tutors (see below), as well as, where relevant, to courses taken during the Bachelor's degree and the student's own knowledge. Students will be permitted to use the reference articles in their unannotated versions. A marking scheme setting out the weighting of the various assessment criteria will be made available at the start of the academic year on the eCampus platform.
Attendance at lectures is compulsory. After two unauthorised absences, the student will be automatically transferred to the second sitting (August).
In the event of failure in the assessment, the student will be required to sit an in-class essay based on a selection of articles and/or books from the reference bibliography provided by the supervisors.
NB: For the use of conversational AI, please consult the ULiège charter at the following link: https://www.student.uliege.be/cms/c_19230399/fr/faq-student-. Failure to comply with this code of good practice will be considered academic misconduct and will result in a mark of zero for the entire examination.

Organisational remarks and main changes to the course
Because the course is basically an annual conference-debate series, active participation at all sessions is essential.
