Creative Industries Business Management and English Language
Creative industries business management combined with English language is a programme that equips you to work in the commercial and communicative dimensions of the creative sector with a rigorous grounding in how language functions in professional and cultural contexts. The creative industries, encompassing music, publishing, film, television, games, fashion, design and the arts, are among the fastest-growing sectors of the UK economy and require professionals who understand both the business of creative production and the communicative power of language. English language study brings a scientific and analytical approach to how language is structured, used and varies across contexts and communities.
At Liverpool Hope University, this three-year full-time programme includes a sandwich year with embedded work placement opportunities and a year abroad, giving you significant professional experience and international academic exposure within the degree. Liverpool's creative and cultural economy, its music heritage, its arts organisations and its media sector provide a distinctive environment for this combination. The typical entry tariff is around 104 UCAS points.
You will study business and management principles, including finance, marketing, strategic management and entrepreneurship, alongside specialist creative industries content covering the structure and economics of creative sectors, intellectual property, rights management, digital distribution and the business models of contemporary creative enterprises. The English language component will engage you with linguistics, discourse analysis, sociolinguistics, and the use of language in professional and media contexts, developing both your analytical understanding of language and your practical communication skills.
Graduates of creative industries business management with English language programmes work in publishing, music, film and television production, arts organisations, digital media companies, brand and content agencies, and the commercial sides of cultural institutions. The language component adds a distinctive analytical edge to the business management skills, which is particularly valued in communications, editorial, content strategy and audience development roles. Postgraduate study in creative industries management, media management, linguistics or communications is a natural next step.
