Introduction

The Innovative Study Route for Entrepreneurs.

This route to a Music Business Studies Degree provides its students with the skills, knowledge, and experience necessary to embark on sustainable careers on the business side of the real music industry as it exists today – as managers, label executives, and entrepreneurs.

Covering a broad range of content relevant to the wider creative industries, too, students can supplement foundational knowledge in the areas of Artist & Repertoire, Business Management, Marketing, Law & Contracts, Live Events Management and Entrepreneurship with topics such as Consumer Psychology and/or Music Journalism depending on their interests and career aspirations.
