About

Ready to develop and unleash your creative potential? Studying our music production course, you’ll uncover music and sound’s diverse characteristics by exploring technology, sound design, composition, production and mastering, and social media. And we’ll share advice on how to search for jobs in the music business.

The course includes studio practice, song writing and recording, production and mastering, arranging popular music and composing for film. From day one, you’ll have access to our specialist studios, instruments and digital tools, giving you the freedom to experiment, create and collaborate. Our Creative Arts buildings include three recording studios, two television studios, two theatres, and many rehearsal spaces.

There are also plenty of chances to get involved beyond the classroom. You could join Edgehog Radio, our student-run station, or take part in other hands-on projects that let you build experience, grow your confidence, and make connections that matter.

You’ll feel part of the industry, even as a student. We’re proud to be part of UK Music’s Music Academic Partnership (MAP) that links universities with the heart of the music industry. This means you’ll gain insight into the realities of the music world through guest lectures, workshops and careers events, and the chance to build a network of industry contacts.

When you graduate, you won’t just have a degree, you’ll have the experience, industry insight and professional connections to launch a successful career in the music industry.

Create, record and perform your own songs in an environment where your artistic talent will be nurtured. You’ll develop your craft in our well-equipped, on-campus studios. And specialist modules will help broaden your appreciation of music and sound.
