BA (Hons) Stage & Production Management

Beginning with an in-depth study of traditional theatre-based stage management techniques, you will then learn how to apply this knowledge across the breadth of live events. You’ll examine how the roles of stage and production managers develop from rehearsal to performance and tour, and study the ways in which your skills can be transferred to working on multiple events both in the UK and internationally.

From day one, you’ll dive into stage and production management, building core skills in communication, planning, logistics, and networking. Masterclasses and seminars connect you with top industry professionals and global event specialists. Venue visits – from theatres to stadiums – give you real insight into the live event environment and how it all comes together. 

Teaching embeds core skills – planning, communication, management, and delivery – through real-world scenarios and live event projects. You’ll explore what it means to be a stage and production manager while collaborating across courses to understand technical roles and industry relationships, gaining insight into how successful shows are developed, delivered, and sustained. 

With a degree designed around the real demands of global productions - from theatre and touring shows to stadium concerts and festivals - you’ll graduate ready to lead. Whether calling complex shows, coordinating crews, or managing high-pressure environments, you’ll be prepared to hit the ground running as a sought-after stage or production manager in this fast-moving industry.
