Course summary
The Higher National Diploma in Music allows students from all backgrounds to gain practical knowledge through a range of creative workshops in response to industry focused briefs. The course is a natural progression for students on the Level 4 Higher National Certificate Music course at CRC but is also suitable for other students wishing to transfer from another college or Level 4 equivalent course. The HNC & HND Music qualifications combined provide an ideal foundation for students who require a faster and more direct route into the industry, as well as for the more mature student who is looking to retrain within the music industry.
