Real live industry experience 🎫🎶
 
Kiril Kostiuchenko, a second-year Music Business & Entrepreneurship student, brought his vision to life with an underground rap and electronic show at earlier this year.
 
More than just a night of music, it was a chance to put his skills into practice. From planning and promotion, to shaping the overall vibe. The event showed what it really takes to build something from the ground up. For Kiril, this is what makes the module his favourite: real, hands-on experience and understanding how to launch a profitable venture in the live industry.
