Music Business and Media BA(Hons)

This exciting new course, based in a city with a thriving music scene, gives you a thorough grounding in the music business and media. You'll have the opportunity to develop a range of skills and experiences, preparing you for a career in these fast-growing, rapidly changing and closely connected industries.

The teaching team comprises research-active lecturers and industry-experienced staff. Visiting professionals from the media and music industries play an influential part in the delivery of the course material.

All modules take an applied approach where theory and practice are combined. The degree can be tailored to your specific interests, and you can experiment with different subjects and practices.
