**About the course**
If you’re as passionate about live events as you are about the inner workings of the music industry, then our BA (Hons) Music Business and Event Management Joint Honours Degree is right for you.
This undergraduate course provides you with a unique opportunity to start an exciting career in a thriving international industry. From promotion and festival production, to artist managers and record label bosses, this degree combines the best of both subjects to empower you with the skills and knowledge you need to succeed in a global multi-billion pound industry.
As you progress through the course, you can specialise in topics that interest you most. This is possible through our optional modules in year 2 and 3, such as Community, Cultural & Sports Events, Touring and Live Events, Digital Arts & Branding, Business Ethics & Music Law, Creative Economics and more. By the end of your course, you’ll have a portfolio of skills in perfect balance with whichever career path you’ve chosen.
Day to day learning will be in small, seminar-based classrooms, with interactive and engaging sessions that give you the chance to debate key topics and apply what you have learnt through workshops and group activities.
Subject modules will feature core elements of event management and music business, as well as the roles, responsibilities and processes which connect the two interconnected industries. You’ll learn the key skills and strategies to effectively create, plan and produce your own event.
You will study the management of artists, international tours and large-scale music festivals, whilst also exploring the growing issue of sustainability. You will also leave the course with high-end digital skills, with in-depth learning of social media and marketing.
