Innovative courses
We have a wide range of music courses. Students have come to us as undergraduates, and left as Doctors in Music.
Be a mover and shaker in a billion pound global industry
Our Music and Entertainment Industry Management BA degree is the UK's first, and premiere programme.
Leaders from the music-industry walk through our doors and work with our students.
This is what the BBC said about us in their Music Magazine:
Among the most exciting initiatives is a new course in music and entertainment management at the University of Hertfordshire, which is taking an ambitious new approach to training music managers of the future.
