Are you sure that you wouldn't be better to do either of these as an apprenticeship?

I agree with Flamingo10. You don't need a degree to work in event management. I suspect, the biggest help with working in music will be connections in the music industry.

I did my undergrad in Events Management, and also have 12 years of experience as an events manager - while an apprenticeship is a good way to get into doing events, I'd argue that doing it at degree level also gives you a super flexible degree that covers business, hospitality, food, HR, management, etc, which gives you a massive number of options in future careers

If you choose the right university you can get those connections at university. I don't think there are many, if any, apprentiships in this area.
