Music has always been a core part of the life of Morley College with key iconic composers such as Holst, Vaughan Williams, Tippett, Daphne Oram and Cornelius Cardew all having taught at Morley College. With a vast range of music courses in the department covering pop and jazz to opera or classical music, you’ll be joining a large and vibrant music community boasting fantastic music production, radio and performance resources. The HND in Music has two different pathways with the HNC being 1 year of study and the HND taking 2 years. You can specialise in either Music Performance (including song writing, theory, solo and band performance), or Music Production (including electronic music, studio engineering, live sound). The broad themes of each course are the same, incorporating computer music skills, creating radio shows, composing music, dubbing sound for film, putting on gigs and marketing a music business along the way. Your course will give you a solid foundation of creative skills, technical knowledge and contextual understanding of popular music and its associated disciplines. You’ll learn from industry professionals through practical tasks building your confidence and encouraging you to explore your chosen pathway with increasing independence.

Units are subject to change but would typically cover 240 credits of: - The Music Industry - Marketing & Promotion for Musicians - Professional Development - Applied Sound Principles - Recording Technology - Creative Software Techniques - Creative Synthesis Techniques - Live Sound Techniques - Radio Production - Creative Research Project - Advanced Music Production - Advanced Sound Engineering - Mixing & Mastering - Creative Portfolio - Working in Music Education - Composing to a Brief - Musicology

You will be assessed through realistic practical projects which will reflect the content and work flow you could expect from real world tasks found in employment in the industry. You will be supported through the process by regular formative feedback from your tutors to help you improve and detailed summative feedback at the end of the units to help you identify your next steps in learning and skills development to meet your goals.

Students undertaking higher level education need to have a commensurate level of understanding of the English language so as to be able to achieve their qualification. In the case of applicants for whom English is a second language, the interviewer and Central Admissions Team must assure themselves of the applicant’s ability to function at IELTS English Level 5.5 (or equivalent). This is in line with the requirements of the awarding and validating bodies. Where applicants do not hold an IELTS qualification at 5.5 or equivalent, the Central Admissions will ask the applicant to sit an online test (BKSB) to check the suitability of the applicant’s English level prior to interview. Photographic identification will be required. Applicants who have recently completed (i.e. in the last 2 years) a formal programme of study in English at an appropriate level (such as a level 3 BTEC or ‘A’ level) prior to starting their Higher National are considered to be at a suitable level of English without requiring additional evidence..
