Student review [#34185]
for Music Business Management
at University for the Creative Arts - UCA
London, The United Kingdom
I attend UCA doing Music Business and Management via the business school.
The main thing to consider before joining UCA, specifically on a business course, is that a lot of the units are cross-taught. Entire units will be a mix of fashion, music and general advertising. If you’re looking for a more well-rounded education in the creative industries, then this would be a good fit. However if you’re looking to specialise in one of the industries as a whole, you may find it frustrating, as there isn’t a whole lot of deep-diving into industry specifics.
Securing placements via the uni are difficult, and can feel like you’ve been thrown in to the deep end without armbands.
Lecturers themselves are hit or miss, with some being genuinely interested in your progression and some being very by the book and dismissive of criticism. Some also can be very patronising and treat you like you’re a child.
I’d recommend UCA to anyone looking for a well-rounded creative career but not to anyone looking to specialise and deep-dive into one specific creative industry.
