Music Production with Business Management

Music Production with Business Management BA at Keele offers a unique blend of creativity and strategy, equipping you with specialist skills to pursue careers across two dynamic fields. This programme provides a scientifically informed understanding of managing various types of organisations, from conventional businesses to alternative models, while also developing your academic and practical expertise in music production and sound design.

You’ll develop industry-relevant skills in music production, sound design, screen music, audio-visuals, and music software. You will also delve into the qualitative study of organisations - their operations, strategies, and employee dynamics, while also providing foundational knowledge in business management. This well-rounded approach ensures that you are fully prepared for careers in the dynamic music industry, including sound recording, audio engineering, audio-visual production, and broadcasting.

At Keele, you'll have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience through projects and placements, applying your learning to real-world scenarios and kick-starting your career. In your final year, you can undertake a year-long, professionally focused project, build a substantial creative and academic portfolio, or conduct in-depth research in one or more areas of music production. With flexible module choices, you can tailor your degree to your career aspirations and even study abroad at one of our partner universities.
