The First Ticketmaster Scholarship for Henley’s Music and Creative Industries MBA is Awarded

The first Ticketmaster Scholarship for the Henley Business School MBA for Music and Creative Industries has been awarded to Isabelle von Weber, Senior Legal Adviser at the British Council, the UK’s premiere organisation for international cultural relations.

Applications for the scholarship were opened earlier this year and attracted a vast array of talent from across the creative industries, including the Head of Disney Music and the Glastonbury musical director for the Green Peace stage.

Applicants were required to write an essay on leadership qualities in the live entertainment sector. Following this, a shortlist of six entrants was welcomed to Ticketmaster offices, where they took part in face-to-face interviews with Mark Yovich (President, Ticketmaster International), Simon Presswell (Managing Director, Ticketmaster UK) and Helen Gammons (Programme Director – MBA for Music & Creative Industries, Henley Business School).

In receiving her award, Isabelle said: “I am very much looking forward to the MBA journey and the new perspectives and possibilities that it will open up. I am very impressed with Ticketmaster’s commitment to develop leaders who strive to make a positive difference in the field of music and the creative industries.”

The MBA for the Music and Creative industries, which launched in September 2012 in the UK and earlier this year in South Africa, is expected to launch in Hong Kong in 2016. Click here to learn more about the Ticketmaster Scholarship.
