Music Management

The Certificate in Music Management was designed as a means of providing students with a real working structure to guide them in this innately formless and rapidly evolving field. The course has been developed to meet the needs of students who wish to pursue a business and management career in the music and media industries.

A series of lectures, seminars and workshops with both regular and visiting industry specialists introduces candidates to the most significant aspects of the music business, including contract law, intellectual copyright, artist management and the recording industry. Success in the contemporary world of music is increasingly dependent upon business know-how. Students may have the opportunity of gaining hands-on experience at the Foundation’s own Amiata Records (www.amiatamedia.com).

The certificate comprises 4 modules. Each module entails one 3 hours session per week over 12 weeks, either day or evening study. Total classroom time of 36 hours per module.

Internship (Optional): 3-month placement after the ending of 4 modules.

The course is delivered through a series of tutorials and seminars including case studies. Assessment is through a group project and presentation, an individual essay and a final exam. Participants are expected to undertake at least two hours per week of independent study. Upon successful completion of the four modules, students are awarded an ESE certificate. Modules may also be taken independently.
