Our Music Technology and Production BSc is a degree that seeks to equip and enthuse aspiring music producers, audio engineers and sound designers, with the creative and technical skills and knowledge needed to succeed working in music production, and audio post-production roles.
The course has a focus on the production and creation of music; however, it also examines the growing role that sound, and music play across a range of creative sectors, including film and tv, games and software design.
By studying the course, you will explore range of exciting subjects including:
- Music production
- Studio recording
- Composition and songwriting
- Mixing and mastering
- Sound design and location sound recording
- Audio post-production
- Game audio
- Audio effects and plugin development
Our students develop their skills by working towards a range of creative and practical projects, building a portfolio of music and audio work in a broad range of fields, guided by teaching staff with a wealth of music industry experience. By the end of their studies, our students are equipped with the expertise, critical thinking and understanding required to produce work to the highest professional standards.
Our graduates go on to successful careers as both freelance music producers, sound engineers and sound designers, as well as working in roles in sound and audio for major studios including Warner Bros. De Lane Lea, London.
The teaching takes place in both a fully equipped Mac IT Lab, and complex of music production and recording studios. Each of our specialist music iMac computers is equipped with Logic Pro, Ableton Live Suite, and Pro Tools, to ensure our students have access to industry standard software.
Our studios are also supported by a music specialist technician, and store of industry standard microphones including, Neumann, AKG, Sennheiser and Royer; instruments including Tama drums, Fender guitars, Korg synthesisers; amplifiers including Fender, Vox and Ashdown; and plugins including Native Instruments, iZotope, Waves, Sonnox and GRM Tools.
The music studios are fitted with Genelec monitoring, and the main recording studio is built around an Audient ASP4816 analogue console and Universal Audio Apollo interface.
The teaching team is built around industry practitioners, with established careers in the music and creative industries, and affiliation with industry bodies including the Music Producers Guild and Audio Engineering Society. Through understanding the working environment and methods, the team are able to provide students with insight and understanding of the professional music industries. The expertise of the team ranges from studio-based music production, electronic music, music for film and television, sound design, electronic instrument design as well as research, business practices including music publishing, record labels and management.
The module structure and learning outcomes are focussed on employability and developing students as critical thinkers in relation to music and audio production. By developing the core skills and understanding at Level 4, students then progress to integrate these principles in more specialist subject areas at Level 5. By Level 6 our students undertake major projects, in conjunction with work-based learning, to best prepare them for the working environment.
