London’s Institute of Contemporary Music Performance has teamed up with artist management firm ATC Management to launch the ATC Scholarship, providing a fully funded place on the one year Higher Diploma in Music Business course (equivalent to the value of £4,950).

The winning student will also get the opportunity to spend time working at the ATC London offices gaining experience and learning directly from the professionals.

As part of the partnership, ATC will provide a panel of experts to judge and decide on the winner of the scholarship. ATC will also provide guest speakers throughout the year to teach on the Music Business course, giving students the opportunity to learn first-hand about the processes specifically involved in the artist management side of the music industry.

Music Business Programme Leader Ken Foreman added: “ATC is one of the leading artist management companies at the forefront of the new music industry. They are driving huge changes in the methods by which young talent is scouted and how careers are driven forward from a business perspective.  We are extremely pleased to welcome them as part of the fabric of the new business school.”

Applicants will need to submit a 1,000 word business case for a new music business idea or concept by 24 August 2012. Proposals will be judged on their creativity and viability.
