Students who desire a career in a recording studio, or even as an independent artist, should consider a music production program. Courses usually focus on training students in using programs and technology that are currently standard in the industry, but courses can also include music-centric topics like theory and composition.

Australia has a subsidized higher education for students pursuing the undergraduate degrees. They also give loan and grants for the post graduate students. Higher learning starts at undergraduate degree level to a doctoral degree offered in any field of study.
