The eight-week programme combines a four week academic programme that provides an introduction to all the main business disciplines with a four week internship with an Edinburgh Festival production company during the world’s largest arts festival.
The programme is designed to assist non-specialist college/undergraduate students to acquire understanding of the nature, structure and workings of organisations with a particular focus on the arts and culture sector. This is then complemented by the internship giving participants a chance to see the theory in action.
The programme is run by the Business School in collaboration with Internship Scotland with their extensive experience of working with a wealth of festival companies and performers.
The 2012 programme will run from Saturday 30th June 2012 until Friday 24th August 2012. Participants should arrive on Saturday 30th June in order to take part in the Programme Induction (from Saturday evening onwards) and they can stay in accommodation until Sunday 26th August 2012.
