The BA (Hons) Music is a one-year course that will provide music performers and production students the opportunity to hone their craft and to focus on a career in the music industry. If you have a vocational qualification at level 5 (e.g. an HND) or a foundation degree you can convert that into a full degree with all the benefits that entails. A number of units will allow you to choose the academic and practical topics that you will cover in extended projects enabling you to determine the material you will be studying and creating. You will gain a deeper understanding of cultural theory and how music fits into the wider framework of society, philosophy and other creative disciplines. You will work as a team on collaborative projects involving college initiatives such as the in-house record label and radio station or cross discipline with Creative Arts or Performing Arts students. Your creativity will be stretched through exploring sound and technology in performance or installation. You will be taught by industry experienced staff, and visiting professionals, on industry standard equipment you will learn in a small groups through a combination of one-to-one teaching, seminars, practical workshops and collaborative group work. You will build on the skills you already possess and integrate new technical, theoretical and creative understanding to create a portfolio of work to support your aspirations in entering the music industry.
