The Music and Technology programme allows you to specialise in the vocational areas of recording and production, electronic music, sound design and composition for film and video gaming.
The programme not only focuses on technical areas such as sound recording and music production, but also allows you to explore other creative and experimental applications of music technology. You will underpin your technology practice with specialist theoretical, historical and contextual modules, and will have the option to develop your performance skills in either popular or classical music.
Programme in detail
Alongside your technology focused modules, you will choose 50% of your degree programme from a wide range of popular and classical music modules. This means you can also study classical or popular music performance, classical or popular music composition, the music industry, or select from a wide range of historical and theoretical options.
In Years Two and Three, in addition to the core modules, you will be able to focus on the areas that interest you most through our independent projects.
Career prospects
Studying Music opens up many career opportunities. As well as jobs in music (from performance, composition, and production, through to teaching, music therapy and community arts), employers in many sectors are increasingly seeking arts and humanities graduates for their transferable skills. As a music student you will achieve creative flair and imagination, confidence in expressing yourself, an openness to new ideas, a capacity for hard work and an ability to analyse data. You will learn the value of working with others towards a shared, finished product and a whole range of flexible, professional skills.
According to the latest available data, 97.0% of our UK first-degree graduates were in work and/or study 6 months after graduating (DLHE 2016/17).
