Combined with the student's ambition, drive and talent, the HND Top-up in Music (Production) will further focus on how to create and produce music products, with a strong emphasis on developing a range of commercial skills needed to work with new technology and concepts within the digital market place. Students will develop a wide range of technical and professional skills for production, composition, performance with technology, business, and research. Students are also supported to develop realistic and achievable career plans to help them reach their goals within the industry. Located within Liverpool city centre, students will be based at the College’s Arts Centre - a creative hub for students studying music, performing arts, media, journalism, art, fashion and computing.
