BMus (Hons) Music Performance and Music Management

Course summary
Around half of the course is based on performance, with the other half split across songwriting and arrangement; the music industry; management and promotion. There are a wide variety of performance opportunities, and we actively encourage collaboration with other artists and musicians, forming bands and ensembles, putting on showcases and shows and taking part in recording and production sessions both as musicians and as producers.

Successful graduates leave with skills such as performance and stagecraft; music business entrepreneurship; songwriting and arrangement; musical directorship; management, PR and promotion; and music video production. You will also have the option to study live sound, music education or experimental sound.

Past students have gone on to sign as recording artists to record labels; license and release their own material; work in recording studios; work as session musicians in the West End, on tours or cruise ships; teach in schools and colleges; work for promotors, record labels and music management companies.
