Program Overview

Are you excited by the thought of working in film production, the video games industry, or on live productions and music events? Streaming and gaming are contributing to a continued growth in global recorded music revenues and music production now spans an increasingly wide range of industries. Learn how to create, produce, mix and master stereo and surround recordings in state-of-the-art recording studios with our music production degree at Teesside University.

Perform and engineer live performances and programme sound synthesizers, as well as producing pre-recorded sound for a range of digital outputs such as games, films, TV and a host of online content. Supported by our lecturers and specialist technicians, many of whom have worked in industry, you gain knowledge enabling you to set up and run student-led projects such as a record label, a gaming soundtrack, promotion events or a radio station. You learn how to professionally create and dub music, sound effects and Foley to video and other media.

In the School of Arts & Creative Industries we care about you and your future. Our approach is to focus on you as an individual and to help you to replicate what could become your life in industry. This degree has a strong emphasis on teaching you how to apply what you learn about music production within professional practice, so that you gain practical and marketable skills for a wide range of music and audio-related careers.

Graduates from Teesside University have gone on to work in a variety of successful careers as recording artists, sound engineers, broadcasters and producers. You will find us well placed within a vibrant and growing industry, with the North East region seeing increasing amounts of investment across creative industry sectors. The BBC is making its biggest investment for 25 years in the region developing TV Production. Recent research has identified a cluster of recording, production and post-production studios in the North East region maintaining a presence in the national music and sound production landscape (Music Studio Market Assessment, Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport, June 2021).
