Ready to enhance your artistic potential with production and recording techniques? If you want to hone your creative skills – by composing, performing, and innovating in our studios – our Creative Music Production BA(Hons) degree is for you.

You’ll study DAW or hardware-based sequencing, sampling, synthesis, and sound design. You’ll focus on creating computer and studio-based music and have the chance to develop advanced techniques ready for work in the music industry – whether you're interested in electronica, techno, ambient, glitch, pop, grime, or something completely new.

You can work with commercially successful tutors, internationally recognised researchers and visiting artists, who can help you build on your production talents. Past visiting artists include John Warhurst, Oscar and Bafta winning Sound Editor, and Huddersfield graduate and Nitin Sawhney, producer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and orchestral composer. You’ll also explore the latest new music in the annual Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival and experience cutting-edge experimental artists at our Electric Spring Festival.
