Master of Arts - Music Production

This course welcomes creative music technologists keen to explore innovative and sustainable creative practice and to develop avenues of interdisciplinary and culturally aware collaborations that can challenge current approaches to music production. Students should learn to operate confidently in a range of professional environments as a critically astute music producer applying established and innovative approaches. A key aim for this course is for graduates to have developed key transferable skills that enable them to operate at the forefront of the emerging new music industries.

Throughout this course, students should benefit from expert instruction, in addition to meaningful connectivity with research and practice-based expertise from across broader media, production and performance disciplines. Students will have the opportunity to collaborate, across MA courses and/or externally, on project-oriented modules; which allow natural interdisciplinarity and promote a greater contextual understanding of their chosen specialism within the broader media and performing arts sectors.  

During their first semester on the course, students can apply for the extended route, which offers an opportunity to reflect upon and gain professional experience through three semesters of internship or placement with a host of different organisations.
