Studying Music

Reach your full creative potential

• If your focus is performance, you’ll get 1-1 instrumental/vocal tuition, as well as opportunities for ensemble performance, and occasionally concerto performances
• You’ll have many opportunities for collaboration with students from other arts & media disciplines: Animation, Film & TV Production, Computer Games Design, Computer Graphics, VR, Dance, Theatre and Fashion.

Hands on learning and collaboration

The BA Music programme will be taught almost entirely on campus. As restrictions have lifted, students have fully embraced returning to in-person teaching, which has enlivened seminar discussions as well as practical classes in performance, composition/songwriting and production. Live ensemble performances, hands-on learning of recording & production in the studio and Digital Media Workshops will all be on campus, giving you the opportunity to work with our state-of-the art facilities and experience what it’s like to be in a creative community.

We retain a small element online such as 1-1 tutorials as we’ve found students appreciate the option to do this virtually.

If you’re studying on the BA Music Business and Arts Management programme, your teaching will also take place primarily on campus, with approximately a quarter being online where suitable. You will also have some flexibility when it comes to choosing between online or in-person tutorials within modules.
