The Course
This Top-Up Degree programme is designed to form a natural progression from related HND and Foundation Degree courses and aims to give students a solid grounding in the techniques required to become a successful media composer. To be successful in this field, a composer must be prepared and able to write in any style or genre, often on a limited budget, working to tight deadlines.

Throughout the course, students are encouraged to build on historical and cultural perspectives, towards an individual composition style that both fuse and challenge the techniques and conventions studied in the course. At the culmination of the course, each student will have collated a portfolio of compositions that could be incorporated into a showreel.
