Course summary
The foundation year will introduce you to study at university and your chosen subject. It also provides a highly supportive environment where you can develop your self-confidence. Learn how to make ground-breaking sounds and maximise your potential in our digital studios. You’ll be taught by a dynamic team of tutors who are highly skilled musicians, including recognised industry music producers, creative technologists, songwriters, composers and performers. With their expert guidance, you'll develop techniques that can be applied to a range of settings, from the stage to clubs, art galleries, games consoles and mobile phones. You’ll be able to compose and produce music using the specialist facilities of our creative arts building which includes recording studios, mixing suites and Apple Mac labs as well as rooms equipped for rehearsals and dedicated music venues.
