With the BA (Hons) Creative Musicianship degree, you’ll become more than a musician. Newly redesigned and distinct from other programmes in the ICMP portfolio, the degree will help you develop and refine your unique artistic identity, guiding you towards success as a highly skilled creative artist.Through theoretical and practical exploration of composition, performance and production, you’ll hone your technical understanding of musical language to take your next steps towards a career in music and the creative industries.Though working autonomously, you’ll be supported and mentored by exceptionally experienced tutors – all experts in creative, recording, production processes. Using the latest technology, you’ll build an industry-standard portfolio of your own original music, encompassing the personal artistic brand you’ve identified and realised.Your prospects will be enhanced by the high level of choice within the degree; much of your learning will be self-directed, exploring areas you feel best support your artistic goals.

You’ll be encouraged to explore a variety of different directions as a creative artist, but will make your own decisions about what’s best for your future career. Throughout all modules, you’ll be urged to progress an individual learning path relevant to your preferred way of learning, your interests and your ultimate career journey.With a strong focus on entrepreneurship, the course arms you with tried-and-tested approaches to building yourself as a successful business.
