We want to ensure you become who you want to be musically and can make your living working with music, whether performing, creating or producing or a combination of these.
Our Music courses help you develop your skills in popular, contemporary and commercial music and equip you with the essential business skills to succeed. You’ll develop a broad range of skills across performance, composition, song writing and production.
Through two specialist degree options, you can choose the degree that best fits with your ambition from day one. They are Music or Music (Song Writing & Performance) and Music (Song Writing and Production).
You get your music in front of an audience through frequent gig nights, regular festivals and industry showcases. Aside from the business, you also learn how to match your music with an audience. You can collaborate with students from other courses, for example: recorded and live sound, lighting design and management students.

Learning is largely tutor-led in the first two years, and you gradually take on greater responsibility for managing your learning. By your final year, learning is largely industry focused, project-based and self-generated. Rehearsals and performances are assessed. Depending on which degree you choose, you may be required to submit songs, compositions and/or productions for assessment throughout the course. You also produce a final research paper which is relevant to your interests and career.
