Management

UCAS code: W450

Here's what Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts says about its Management course.

Our course gives you the skills, experience and contacts you need to have a sustained career as a manager in the creative industries and performing arts.

You start with a broad curriculum that allows you to explore and discover the many roles that exist. From the second year, you can specialise by following one of three management pathways: Music Industry Management; Management for Live Events or Theatre and Screen. If you wish, you can continue with a broad curriculum, selecting two options from the three pathways. We provide a creative environment for you to experiment and learn, as you expand your skills and knowledge and build a unique portfolio of creative, engaging and enterprising projects that you have managed and delivered.

This course was previously titled BA (Hons) Management of Music, Entertainment, Theatre & Events.
