Overview
If you are weighing up Music Production MA, the useful thing to know early is how much the entry terms vary between departments teaching it. It is a 1 year postgraduate programme, so the pace is quick and the dissertation carries real weight.
Teaching in Music Production is assessed through work you make rather than examinations. We currently work with 25 universities on this course across 18 cities.
The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.0, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition ranges from £17.500 to £37.500 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.
Where you land depends on your grades, your English and your timing. Send those three and we will tell you where you stand.
