Kirsty, music business graduate

I am the Marketing, Social Media & Digital Distribution Manager at Soma Records, my studies helped get my job by growing my music network and boost my networking skills. I received great support from all my lecturers at 杏吧原创, and the guest lectures were great.

A highlight was starting up my own club night in Glasgow for my Honours Project. If you are thinking about a career in the music industry, I would recommend studying at 杏吧原创.

Kirsty studied BA (Hons) Music Business at 杏吧原创 Perth.
