📖Program Curriculum
Music Production is designed as a carousel with three points of entry in the academic (January-May-September) where each semester has set modules that do not recur until the academic cycle is completed.
Throughout this course, you should benefit from expert instruction, in addition to meaningful connectivity with research and practice-based expertise from across broader media, production and performance disciplines. You will have the opportunity to collaborate, across courses and/or externally, on project-oriented modules; which allow natural interdisciplinarity and promote a greater contextual understanding of your chosen specialism within the broader media and performing arts sectors.
During their first semester on the course, students can apply for the extended route, which offers an opportunity to reflect upon and gain professional experience through three semesters of internship or placement with a host of different organisations2.
