On our BA (Hons) in Music Production, you’ll learn how to compose, record, mix and master music for commercial release. There will also be plenty of scope to explore your own projects and specialise in the area you want to pursue for a career.
And as the life of a music producer is so varied, it will prepare you for work across radio, TV, film, games and theatre too. Throughout the course, you’ll be guided by lecturers who work as songwriters, producers and live performers. In recent years, they’ve included high-profile figures like Nick McCabe, former lead guitarist in The Verve. We also have research-active staff with links to everything from hip-hop to electronic music. Some of the modules focus on the technical skills you’ll need for professional studio environments. Our top-spec facilities include five fully equipped recording studios, all with surround sound and consoles from SSL, Avid, Audient and API.
There’s a 60-seater Mac music technology centre incorporating Logic Pro, Ableton Live and Native Instruments Komplete. You can gain official Pro Tools accreditation at a very low cost as well. Students can access the studio space anytime between 9am and midnight on weekdays and it’s also available for individual use at weekends. You can immerse yourself in more creative activities too, such as songwriting and experimental composition. It’s ideal for students who like performing alongside producing.
