About this course

You’ll gain the fundamental skills and experience required to obtain sustained employment in a range of relevant fields. You’ll develop and shape your career in music production, recording and/or performing in live environments and nurture valuable contacts in the field. We’ll support your creative development, performance skills and technical understanding of studio equipment and music software. The programme is taught in the heart of Bath at the state-of-the-art Bath College Music Department which offers a range of creative and commercial possibilities in music.

Although the Foundation Degree is a stand alone (career-related) qualification in its own right, students successfully completing this course may be eligible to progress to the third year of an appropriate Honours degree programme at Bath Spa University, subject to a place being available.

While the University is committed to enabling Foundation Degree students to progress, in the event of there being insufficient places to accommodate all students who have applied, applicants will be subject to a selection process which will be based on achievement during the Foundation Degree. Previous students on this programme have gone on to study Honours Degrees in Creative Music Technology and Commercial Music. Students are also able to apply to other institutions (through UCAS) for entry onto second or third year of other related degree programmes.

160-200 UCAS Tariff points (eg BC; CD+AS c), with at least 60 points from a music-related qualification (including BTEC Music Practice / Music Technology / Performing Arts or A-level Popular Music, Music Technology or Music.

Candidates who do not have the standard qualifications but who are over 21 and have music industry experience will be considered.
