Explore the global music industries through academic theory and innovative real-world projects. We foster collaboration between our internationally recognised School of Languages, Arts and Societies and our Triple Crown accredited Management School, informed by insights from established practitioners.
Our programme is designed to prepare future leaders capable of navigating and influencing the evolving landscape of the global music industries.
As music increasingly becomes one of the world's most dynamic and rapidly growing creative sectors, you'll explore established areas such as recording, publishing and live performance, alongside emerging fields including gaming, music and wellbeing, public policy, and the implications of new technologies.
Through practical experiences and collaborative projects, you'll develop essential transferable skills - such as critical thinking, strategic planning and creative problem-solving - that help you address complex challenges and identify opportunities within this expanding global industry.
The programme offers the flexibility to specialise in areas of interest, while providing comprehensive insight into leadership principles tailored specifically to music and wider creative industry contexts. Whether you aspire to join established music organisations, pursue entrepreneurial ventures, embark on academic research in music, or enhance your expertise with cutting-edge innovations, you'll graduate equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in this internationally significant and fast-developing sector.
