BA CREATIVE MUSIC TECHNOLOGY

Our Creative Music Technology programme has been designed to provide its graduates with the artistic, technical, creative, and professional skills relevant to the music industries. The programme is designed for students with a creative flair, developing competencies and confidence in working with music and technology in a wide range of contexts and settings. We encourage creativity and innovation through providing opportunities to develop artistic, technical and production skills to expert levels in preparation for employment.

Students are exposed to many subject areas within the application and production of music. The project-based and practical nature of the programme allows students to tailor the assignments to their interests within the broad subject area of music technology. We pay particular attention to the development of listening skills which allows students to tune into their distinctive and unique sonic voice. In a very competitive industry of music production, the challenge is to maximise the student’s opportunity to develop a “unique and individual voice” through the realisation of the creative projects.

The course offers access to specialist facilities including four industry-standard recording studios. One of these studios is the historic BBC Hall, which has one of the best acoustics for recording in the UK.

Graduates have an excellent range of technologically advanced transferable skills that enable them to gain employment in a diverse range of contemporary media and production companies as well as becoming directly employed in the music industry.
