After the Level 3 course,students may enter higher education, which includes our own foundation degree and degree in Music Production and Creative Recording, awarded by the University of Brighton.
We recommend students purchase a pair of headphones to use on the course to enable students to familiarise themselves with their headphone sound which is hugely important for industry and production techniques. We also ask that students bring musical instruments to classes as often as possible excluding large/heavy instuments!
The department also runs a successful Foundation Degree in Music Production and Creative Recording and a BA (Hons) in Music Production and Creative Recording. You will be expected to complete assignments in your own time. There is regular open access to studios throughout the year, where either assignments or small project work can be completed.
This course is designed to enable you to take your Maths and English studies alongside it if required. It is usually not possible to take other L2 qualifications alongside it though.
