Course programme
Placements are a valuable means of establishing industrial contacts and gaining an insight into the commercial reality of a chosen discipline. We have a long history of students working with industry supplementing the taught university curriculum with real life on the job experience.
All Songwriting and Music Production students spend a week working in a local school, writing, rehearsing and performing a new music theatre work with over one-hundred children. For many, these provide the stimuli for an exciting teaching career.
