You complete a 60-credit dissertation under supervision, and you can choose from a range of optional modules such as Entertainment Contracts, Law and Media, or Experiential Workplace-Based Learning, allowing you to tailor the course to particular sectors and to gain practical experience through industry-focused seminars.

Graduates move into roles such as entertainment lawyers, commercial advisors or in-house counsel for broadcasters, record labels, sports organisations and streaming platforms. Recent employers include the BBC, Google, Spotify, Netflix, Sky and major law firms, while some alumni progress to further research or specialist practice, and others work as music managers, event organisers or film directors.
