This practice-based degree cultivates artistic development and is designed to make you self-sufficient in the creation, recording and performance of music. You will enhance your perception of the diverse characteristics of music and sound by exploring a broad range of themes. These include music technology, electronic music interaction, sound design, instrumental tuition, songwriting, composing and arranging, recording live music, studio recording, production and mastering, social media and employment strategies. The programme, which is ideal for musicians and computer musicians, also covers areas in sound for picture and soundtracks.
