Creative Industries Management (BA) SRH University

The programme is taught in English.

Other location: Munich

The cultural and creative industries have been thriving globally and Berlin is a hotspot for the creative industries – making it the perfect place for your studies. Creative heads need creative leaders, and with the BA Creative Industries Management programme, students will learn to support, market and manage success in the creative industries. The degree will also prepare students to start their own business, or to work in a more traditional industry in which companies are increasingly looking for innovative approaches to management.

For the BA Creative Industries Management programme, we have adapted the classics of management to the complex and dynamic creative world. Communication and networking, research and entrepreneurship have been added to the course to develop your interpersonal and leadership skills. In the course of their studies, students will be able to specialise in three different areas: music, visual arts (film, art market, performative arts) or general creative industries management (music, visual arts, software & games, leisure & entertainment). In these modules, students will carry out interdisciplinary projects with fellow students. They will benefit from our music and design study programmes and its diverse network across the creative sector.
