Music Management and Music Promotion

I have an interview on the 12th of this month for music management and a music promotion course both at Southampton Solent.
They want me to provide an example of my written work but I have not done any relevant work experience apart from work in a few night clubs here and there, has anyone else been in this situation? If so, what did you bring?
I was also wondering if anyone has any general advice on the interview itself and on the task you have to complete about arranging a line up for a festival?

Any advice is appreciated x

Hi, I have the same interview coming up in the next few weeks. Is there any advice you could give. What do they ask? and what writing did you bring? I am in the same boat that i do not have much relevant experience, so if you could let me know the sorts of things that were said that would be very helpful.

Thanks

I haven't done any relevant work experience too (apart from having a YouTube channel with covers of my fav songs) and still they sent me an offer to study Music Promotion. I'm not from UK and I couldn't come for an interview in person, so I had to send an e-mail with my written task about festival line-up. It wasn't that hard, but I have to admit, writing is less stressing than having a real interview at the University :P I don't think that work experience is necessary, just be yourself and tell them how much you love music :smile:

Many people told me that it's a great course with great lecturers, you will have a lot of opportunities to work and gain experience in the music industry. Everyone highly recommended me this course and that's why I'm defenitely going to Solent University in September. I guess you just have to be very passionate about music. I'm not from the UK and I'm pretty sure that I want to study at this course :smile: This is going to be fun. See you in September.

Hi again! I applied for a deferred entry(2016), so hopefully I get the grades to study at Solent. Best of luck in September, Let me know how it is.
Have you had an interview? Do you need any work experience to get accepted?

Thanks for the help! I think it's a 200-240 UCAS points entry requirement so hopefully I can get the grades :smile:
