Careers insight
Collaboration is central to the music industries and the MA Music framework reflects this, allowing you the opportunity to specialise while developing new collaborative professional networks and approaches to interdisciplinary working.
Our graduates have gone on to enjoy fulfilling careers within the arts and the wider creative landscape, often on a sustainable self-employed basis.
Traditional modes of thought in relation to many aspects of the music sector are now obsolete and larger, institutional processes have been superseded by more technologically democratic ways of conducting business. The rise of the ‘new artist model’ which places emphasis upon commercial autonomy by artists and practitioners within the music sector has also created the need for the development of a new music business skillset which this course addresses.
