The flexibility of being able to combine music production with marketing gave me the best of both worlds. Lucy Palmer
Why choose this course? If you want to work in the commercial music sector of the entertainment industry, as a singer, songwriter, musician or producer for example, this course is ideal for you. You will have the opportunity to develop your skills and knowledge in music production and recording. About the course Through our Joint Honours Scheme you can combine two or three subjects to tailor your degree to your interests, areas of skill and career aspirations. Popular Music Production is part of the Electronics and Sound subject group, so you will be studying with other students who are also interested in electronics, media technologies, and popular music. Our staff are also actively involved in applied research in these areas. Teaching and learning You will learn through lectures, face to face tutorials and practical work in the studios. Studio work will involve developing skills in preparing and recording programme material, and then processing and editing it to create a finished product. You will often be required to work to strict deadlines with others in a group on a production. Presentation of musical, video or multimedia work and other practical artefacts may be a part of the assessment process in some modules.
