About this course
This course enables you to pursue a career in the management of theatre, film, TV and digital content creation. We focus on building industry-ready, practical skills, experiences and contacts to enable you to thrive in the industry in any role, from producers, agents and casting directors to location managers, marketers and social media managers.
You start your training by learning essential transferrable management skills, before you specialise in your second and third year as you develop your expertise. In your third year you undertake a three-month placement or an independent enterprise project that reflect your ambition and enable you to build experience, expertise and contacts. You graduate as an agile manager with expertise across theatre and screen. You will have developed an impressive portfolio of creative, engaging and enterprising projects that you have managed and delivered.

Assessment methods
You will be assessed through practical, verbal, and written work, including such things as presentations, tutor observation of your practical work, essays, short reports and evaluations, open book tests, spoken ‘viva’ reports and in your final year, a research-based project, which can be either a traditional written dissertation, or a more ‘practice-based’ project. All of your assignment tasks are designed to be relevant to and reflective of the work and knowledge you may be expected to engage with as a professional within the Creative Industries and Performing Arts. During your time as a Management student at LIPA, you will devise, produce, manage, and deliver a range of projects and creative products, taking on an increasing amount of individual responsibility for your work as you progress through each year.
==Practical/Academic work ratio==
50% practical assignments / 50% academic assignments
==Validation==
LIPA aims to have probationary degree awarding powers from September 2025 (subject to Office for Students approval). This is an exciting step, allowing us to take full control of our curriculum and course portfolio. In the unlikely event LIPA does not achieve probationary degree awarding powers, our degrees will be validated by Liverpool John Moores University.
