Program Overview

Practical use of the University’s 24/7 recording studio is at the heart of this course which allows you to complete a professional production of your own.
This music technology course is designed for students who may be from a performance background and are seeking to develop their skill set with the acquisition of a high level of technical appreciation as a means to increase their career and professional potential.

It covers a range of technologies and will include the development of your own portfolio of production pieces and access to many of the local music venues.

The course, which is built around the practical use of the university’s well equipped recording studio and makes full use of the facilities in the Centre for the Creative Industries, is based on exploring current and emerging technologies relating to audio production, and how these can be used to create music and sound for many applications.
