Overview

This broad but thorough Music and Audio Technology (Hons) course from The Sound and Music Institute will allow you to develop modern skills in all areas of music and audio technology, with the option to specialise in an area of your choice in the second year.

You’ll have access to a wide range of professional standard sound and music production equipment, which features not only established studio and recording environments but also electronic music and sound design labs that are equipped with modern and classic sound production tools and software.

While no less rigorous than a BA (Hons) pathway, the FdA Degree is more vocational, with most assignments written to either reflect industry practice or enable you to build a professional portfolio of work. You can also top it up to a full BA (Hons) with one further year of full-time study on either our Music Production & Sound Engineering or Electronic Music Production degrees.

Real World Experience

Throughout the course, there are multiple opportunities for you to gain real world experience including:

Performance and event management opportunities at multiple local venues and internationally with the chance to perform in Berlin.
Opportunities to pitch for paid projects with production companies and other clients.
