Overview

Music and Sound Recording is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Music is studio based, and almost every department asks for a portfolio before it will make an offer.

If you are comparing this against two or three other courses, send us all of them. We will set the entry terms and the fees side by side.
