Level 3 - Performing and Production Arts (Music) UAL Diploma

You can choose between a one and two year course. After having completed the one year course, which is equivalent to 1/1.5 A Levels, you can then progress on to the second year, which is equivalent to 3 A Levels.

This course is for practising Music Performers or Music Producers with experience of performing or producing music. You will experience an active learning environment where you will be developing your skills as a performer or producer. In the first year you will explore a wide variety of musical subjects that will enhance and build your abilities as a performer or producer. Then, in the second year, you will develop your specialist skills within your chosen area of music. You will be required to undertake a range of projects within your specialism that may include live sound engineering for college music performances, composing for and recording an album, production skills, performance skills, and industry experience such as working for the college’s record label, Outbreak Records.

You will be encouraged to take an experimental and open-minded approach to exploring ideas that challenge and develop creative thinking and making skills.

This course will help you to decide your chosen music specialism and to then develop that in preparation for progression on to university or employment.
