Overview

The BA (Hons) Music Business course is designed for individuals seeking careers in the music industry, including areas such as live event promotion and management, artist development, music media production, and digital data analysis. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the broader creative and cultural contexts of the music sector, while fostering the entrepreneurial and innovative skills required to succeed in a dynamic, multi-platform industry. Students are based in an industry-standard media centre in central Birmingham and are supported by an experienced academic team with professional industry backgrounds. The course is also informed by current research from an active popular music and music industries research community, ensuring a balance of academic knowledge and practical expertise. The programme examines the evolving nature of music consumption, production, and interaction, particularly in response to rapid technological advancements and the growing demand for interactive media content. Through a combination of practical learning and critical analysis, students develop both music business knowledge and media production skills, alongside an understanding of national and international music industries and key sector challenges. Birmingham’s vibrant music scene serves as a practical learning environment, enabling students to design and deliver projects aligned with their interests and career aspirations. Opportunities are also provided to collaborate with local and national music organisations and to gain industry experience through work placements within the UK music sector. The course includes an optional professional placement year, allowing students to spend a year working with an employer after completing their second year of study. This provides valuable industry insight and can enhance future employment prospects, with some students returning to their placement organisations after graduation. Students are supported in securing placements through the university’s extensive employer network and dedicated careers services.
