Course summary
88% of students on our music courses said they 'would recommend their course to others' in the National Student Survey 2016.

This course is an equal mix of music technology and radio modules with a very practical focus. You can focus on either subject in your final year. You will learn how to develop your creative abilities and produce audio work to a high professional standard.

The radio modules provide an opportunity for you to learn about the contemporary broadcasting industry and to work on live and pre-produced projects investigating factual, fictive and musical formats. In your final year, you will also have the opportunity to broadcast live across west London on our student station Blast Radio.

Year one acts as a foundation to help you develop a general base of skills and technical knowledge. In year two, you will be able to broaden your range of skills, develop your creative abilities and produce audio work to a high professional standard. Year three allows you considerable creative freedom to plan and realise significant audio projects.
