The new composition pathway gives students the means to enjoy a professional career as a composer, arranger, and sound artist in a range of different contexts. This pathway gives students the opportunity to specialise in a range of different areas, focused around the developing music and media industries. In addition to this, students will work with other disciplines to write music to briefs, arrange music for ensemble, develop installations, place music for television, film, games and digital media. The course begins by setting a solid foundation surrounding theoretical, conceptual, and technological aspects of music composition. As students progress through the course, students will learn a range of different skill sets through our annually updated skills units, featuring industry masterclasses, cutting edge techniques, and forward looking approaches to composition in the music industry.

UCAS Tariff - 104 points

Minimum age 18 All candidates should possess a minimum of 104 UCAS points*. We normally require Grade C/4 GCSE (or an equivalent qualification) in English. Candidates should be capable of using the English language fluently, and able to structure arguments and present evidence to a standard appropriate to study at Level ‘4’. Where the application materials appear insufficient to form a clear judgement on the candidate’s fluency, additional documentary evidence (e.g. recent essays) will be called for. Applicants for whom English is a second language are required to have achieved IELTS level 6.0 (with a minimum of 5.5 in each component) or equivalent qualification. We welcome applications from those who might have completed alternative qualifications, and/or have prior experience. All applications will be considered on a case-by-case basis. * New UCAS 2017 tariff system.
