Foundation Degree Music Production

The Course
UCAS Route A: J931 UCAS Route B: E350

The Foundation Degree in Music Production has been created in response to both industry and government demand for an undergraduate course dedicated to developing marketable workplace skills. The course is delivered through a series of briefs that assist in the development of music production and a wide range of other industry related tasks led by a lecturing team, many of whom continue to work professionally at the highest levels of the music industry. The course is based in our extremely well resourced recording studio complex, which includes thirty soundproofed studios along with sampling, synthesis, acoustic and keyboard laboratories. The studios are supported by dedicated music computer rooms containing over one hundred Mac G5 and Pentium IV computers. Throughout the course you will use many industry standard software packages such as; Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase SX. The course is available in both full and part time modes and will be particularly suitable for applicants who can demonstrate either considerable professional experience gained within the music industry and/or advanced knowledge of digital audio, MIDI and studio production techniques.
