Entertainment Management Summer Course summary
Entertainment Management introduces the business decisions behind TV, movies, and video games, with teaching connected to the Centre for Entertainment Arts.
Students practice management through roleplay, hands-on exercises, and case studies, alongside university preparation workshops.
It suits students curious about how entertainment projects are organized and led, especially those weighing business against creative industry study.
What is Entertainment Management Summer Course?
Entertainment Management is a UBC Extended Learning course within the Future Global Leaders on-campus program, offered in collaboration with the Centre for Entertainment Arts. It explores the processes and executive decisions behind TV shows, movies, and video games.
Students practice project management, problem-solving, and strategic decision-making through roleplay, hands-on exercises, and case studies. Morning subject classes are paired with afternoon university preparation workshops, connecting entertainment industry interests with the experience of university study.
Why Succeed highlights Entertainment Management Summer Course
Its management focus helps students explore the business responsibilities behind entertainment production.
Roleplay and case studies let students practice decisions rather than only hear industry descriptions.
Subhadarshi Tripathy brings experience in media leadership, production, broadcasting, and animation.
University preparation workshops add practical context for choosing and approaching future study.
Who is Entertainment Management Summer Course for?
Best for
Students interested in the business side of film, TV, music, or video games who want to test their interest through practical management exercises.
Not ideal if
Your main goal is specialist training in filming, acting, or programming, since the course centers on entertainment management.
Is Entertainment Management Summer Course worth it?
The course is a useful option for testing whether entertainment business interests you beyond being a fan of films or games. Its practical exercises and industry-experienced instructor give students a concrete way to explore management responsibilities.
Its value depends on wanting both subject exploration and the wider university experience. It offers a general introduction rather than specialist production training, and participation does not create a direct university admission pathway.
