Projects

Projects are the perfect way to put what you learn into practice. You will gain on-stage experience and use your organisational skills in real professional settings. 

Booster Festival

Booster is the leading showcase festival in the east of the Netherlands. Across the city centre of Enschede, musical talent from Overijssel and Gelderland performs live. Students from the Academy of Pop Music and MediaMusic who follow the Management or Business profile organise the festival on behalf of PAMM Productions.

Popcollegetour
