Modules

The degree is built on three fundamental elements – your music, your career and your projects. Throughout the course, you’ll hone songcraft, compositional skills, stagecraft, production, and expand your repertoire. You’ll develop a comprehensive career strategy and learn all about the realities of being a professional artist in today’s music industry. There are also regular online networking events, masterclasses, guest speakers, collaboration and work opportunities so you can build your all-important contacts list. Year One The first year of study focuses on developing well-rounded skills and techniques in songwriting and composition, live performance and audio production, alongside an exploration of traditional and current music industry practice. There is also a focus on the development of a personal style and career strategy. Year Two The second year of the course continues to prioritise the development of high-quality composition and performance, with further focus on innovation in music, technology and business. As the course moves towards its conclusion, the emphasis is on the artist fully taking charge of the direction of their musical output and professional project work. Course structure and modules may change as part of our regular review processes. Any changes affecting students’ expected programme delivery are communicated in advance.
