Management (Music Industry Management)

UCAS code: W452

Here's what Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts says about its Management (Music Industry Management) course.

This course is ideal if you want to pursue a career in Music Industry Management. From A&R and artist management to publishing, promotions and festival programming, this industry-focused, practical course gives you the skills, experience and contacts needed to be part of this dynamic, international industry.

You start your training by learning essential transferrable management skills, before you specialise in your second and third year as you develop your expertise. In your third year you undertake a three-month placement or an independent enterprise project that reflect your ambition and enable you to build experience, expertise and contacts. You graduate as a skilled and versatile manager with a deep understanding of the music industry and a unique portfolio of creative, engaging and enterprising projects that you have managed and delivered.

You will be assessed through practical, verbal, and written work, including such things as presentations, tutor observation of your practical work, essays, short reports and evaluations, open book tests, spoken ‘viva’ reports and in your final year, a research-based project, which can be either a traditional written dissertation, or a more ‘practice-based’ project. All of your assignment tasks are designed to be relevant to and reflective of the work and knowledge you may be expected to engage with as a professional within the Creative Industries and Performing Arts. During your time as a Management student at LIPA, you will devise, produce, manage, and deliver a range of projects and creative products, taking on an increasing amount of individual responsibility for your work as you progress through each year.
