Music Business School has announced 2014 commencement dates for its industry recognised Managing A Music Business Enterprise (MMBE) course. They are Wednesday 22nd January, Wednesday 14th May, and Wednesday 10th September. Applications for the January 2014 intake are now open.
2014 will be the London based business school’s fourth year of equipping young entrepreneurs with the essential information they need to get their music businesses up-and-running or increase their prospects for employment via formal training. It will be the second year that the school has independently offered the MMBE qualification having gained accreditation to do so during 2013.
Since its inception, over 100 students have successfully undertaken study of the new MMBE qualification at Music Business School. Many of the graduating students have moved quickly from study into full-time work within existing music companies or successfully started their own music business enterprises.
In 2014 the course will continue in its usual one day per week format, with classes taught over a 16 week period. The course will also continue its popular guest speaker programme which brings top level, working music business executives into face-to-face discussions with students about how to build and grow their music businesses. Presentations from trade organisations such as the PPL and PRS for Music, the MMF, the MU, and AIM, compliment presentations showcasing the latest innovations in digital music platforms from vendors such as Hootsuite, Music Glue, BandApp, and Soundcloud. They combine to give students essential information in addition to meeting leading players from across the music industry.
