BA (Hons) Songwriting

During your three years, we’ll guide you through the art of songwriting, and give you plenty of opportunity to develop your skills in our state-of-the-art studios.

You’ll work on material with our experienced tutors, and explore a variety of techniques for writing songs to maximise your creative potential.

As an integral part of that, you’ll learn about audio production and recording, so you become confident at producing recordings of your own and other people’s work.

As well as helping you establish yourself as a professional songwriter, this course is a great preparation for working in other related areas of the music industry, such as music production, music publishing or artist management.

The solid business skills you gain are widely transferable to other areas as well, both within and outside music, including fields such as music synchronisation.

You could also continue your studies at postgraduate level.

A typical offer will be a UCAS Tariff score of 80. A minimum of two full A-levels (or equivalent) is required. Every application is considered on an individual basis.
