The curriculum covers songwriting, audio production, music business models, marketing strategies, and the use of AI in music creation. Graduates are prepared for careers as music producers, label executives, artist managers, music marketers, and entrepreneurs in the creative economy.
The program is completed fully online and follows three stages.
