The technical side of the music industry offers a wealth of opportunities and experiences. The modern industry is heavily reliant on highly-skilled and knowledgeable music technologists that understand how to make the most of music products in both the recording studio and during live events. This course is highly practical and is designed to equip you with those skills in a way that will allow you to pursue your own musical interests. Our new recording studio facility will allow you to get hands-on with industry-standard hardware and software in an exciting new environment. All projects are synoptic and based on industry-style briefs which allows students to be independent and explore their ideas creatively.
