Creative Music Production

Ready to enhance your artistic potential with production and recording techniques? If you want to hone your creative skills – by composing, performing, and innovating in our studios – our Creative Music Production BA(Hons) degree is for you.

On the course, you’ll learn to write original new music using a computer, recording studio, and other analogue and digital music technology. You’ll study DAW or hardware-based sequencing, sampling, synthesis, and sound design.

You’ll focus on creating computer and studio-based music and have the chance to develop advanced techniques ready for work in the music industry – whether you're interested in electronica, techno, ambient, glitch, pop, grime, or something completely new.
