Overview

Music Production with Integrated Foundation Year 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.

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 is £17,000 a year.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.
