This course will prepare students to enter the thriving music industry, part of the growing UK creative economy that now employs nearly two million people nationwide.
They might be a musician looking to complement their creativity and boost their employment prospects by developing a deep-rooted knowledge of different facets of the industry, or they could be an entrepreneur with ambitions to transfer their business acumen to the worlds of music and entertainment. More simply, they may just love music and want to explore ways of turning their passion into a rewarding career.
They will learn about key areas of the music industry, including marketing, developing online content, managing live music events, copyright and HR. Taught by academic staff with a wealth of industry experience, they will get involved in real-world projects and network with experts and creative professionals at guest lectures and music events around the city and beyond.
