Course summary

About this course

This degree is delivered at our London Campus in Whitechapel.

This course gives you the opportunity to develop the advanced skills, knowledge and technological understanding necessary to succeed as a multifaceted music business practitioner in a music industry where creative technologies continue to transform the creation, production, performance and distribution of music.

What you’ll study

To sustain a career in the music business, you must have a broad scope of knowledge across the different sectors of the industry and how they interact with each other and generate revenue. New technologies continue to merge the various functions of the recording, publishing and live industries into a range of artist services. This continually advancing technological revolution enables today’s industry practitioners to fulfil the traditional roles of manager, label, distributor, publisher, promoter and marketeer themselves.

In addition to these wide-ranging skill sets and bodies of knowledge, to be a successful industry practitioner, you must also understand how contemporary music is made. You need a working knowledge of how to use DAWs, sample packs and plug-ins, and experience how musicians and producers work in the recording studio. The use of technology to gain insights into demographics, markets, fan engagement and the performance of projects is essential, in addition to the ability to create marketing assets and spreadsheets. It is important to develop soft skills and the ability to manage many projects simultaneously. Having a compelling professional identity and an understanding of how to market yourself effectively is essential.

This course aims to give you an education that encompasses all these facets. It offers the broad technical education you need to thrive in all the key areas of the music industry and the knowledge you need to sustain a successful career in the music industry.
