Music’s role in culture is critically and philosophically examined throughout this course. Using musical examples, you will learn to engage with esoteric and difficult concepts around inter alia genre, gender, race, politics, capitalism, culture, power, evolution, and science.

The BA in Music Production is intended to prepare you for a growing, and ever-evolving industry which contributed £4.5 billion to the economy in 2018.
