Are you an aspiring music manager, record label executive, live event organiser or a business-savvy recording artist who wants to get ahead of the pack with enhanced knowledge and skills?
The BA (Hons) Music Business Management degree aims to nurture creative and ambitious students with a passion for music and business, developing in them future-facing skills and critical knowledge required to develop a successful career in the modern music industry.
This is possibly the most exciting time to be entering the music business with digital opportunities bringing a renewed optimism and five years of solid industry growth. Young, ambitious and skilled new entrants are better placed than most to prosper in the new global streaming economy with many of the rules yet to be written. The skills you can learn at LCCM, including social media marketing, building an audience online with growth hacking, artist branding and data analysis, are in-demand right now.
On our Music Business Management degree you will learn from industry professionals and have the opportunity to put your ideas and new skills into practice with work placements or entrepreneurial project based modules in your third year.
In order to succeed on this degree applicants should ideally possess foundation knowledge in at least one of the underlying subjects: Music Technology, Business or Economics, English Language or Media and Communications. If you don’t have or aren’t expecting to achieve a Level 3 qualification (A Level or equivalent) in one of these subjects you will need to apply for the four year degree with integrated foundation year.
Throughout the course, you will be encouraged to collaborate with your peers, students on other degrees at LCCM and the wider creative community. As you build a network of talented, creative and ambitious musicians and entrepreneurs, you will be given the opportunity and support to put what you are learning into practice in the real world. This will include periods of work-based learning within industry organisations or time spent immersed in an entrepreneurial project.
Being in the heart of London, we have close links to industry and have dedicated staff looking to match students with opportunities from our partners and industry network.
