Music Business and Media at University of Brighton - UCAS

Course summary

Popular music is a fascinating subject to study and a rewarding industry to work in. It has been at the heart of social, cultural and political change for over a century, from the birth of jazz, through the American Civil Rights movement and the Black Lives Matter campaigns. The Music Business and Media degree course has three key components:

  • the opportunity to study media and society through the lens of popular music;
  • the chance to develop your knowledge of the music industry, from small businesses to multinational record companies;
  • valuable industry experiences across roles including music management, marketing and promotion.
You will learn from research-active lecturers and industry-experienced staff, plus visiting music and media professionals. The course is a 60/40 split of theory and practice, with the practical aspects covering video production and photography, as well as the placement and live project modules. You can tailor the degree to suit your interests, and experiment with a range of subjects and practices individually and collaboratively. Brighton is a leading UK centre for the creative industries and less than an hour from London by train. Both cities offer excellent opportunities for placements and the 10-week final-year live project.
