This professionally focused, 12-month practice-based master’s degree in music production aims to help students develop a specialist understanding of advanced music production tools, techniques and processes through the creation of a significant body of original work demonstrating a distinctive artistic personality.

During the first term of this music production course, students will develop, workshop and record a body of songs and compositions which will then be taken through advanced mixing and mastering processes in the second term. Students will also devise and test strategies to launch, market and continuously develop their professional personas and undertake a major body of creative and professional work over the summer, which could culminate in the creation of an album, a score for a feature-length film or the completion of an industry placement as part of the music production degree.

Overall, the programme aims to:

• refine your specialist creative practice;
• enable producers to develop a significant body of original creative work;
• develop a distinctive artistic personality or voice;
• prepare you to lead and continuously develop in professional performance-based industry settings
