The sound and music industry is transforming. Traditional careers are adapting to include creative industries that require skills in sound and music production. The broadcast, film, theatre, games and immersive experience industries are growing and thriving.
We see opportunities for multi-skilled, digitally fluent, dynamic and adaptable sound and music creators, who can initiate and present innovative ideas in modern and engaging ways. The BA (Hons) Music Technology and Production is part of a suite of programmes for applied practice in professional industry contexts. The key features of these programmes are A focus on Ideas, Creative Enterprise and Collaboration, Portfolio of Transferable Skills, Professional Industry Projects.
If you don't meet the entry requirements for a BA, you can study this course as an extended, four-year programme. You'll begin by taking a foundation year which prepares you for a successful transition to the BA degree. This means it will take you four years to complete the course full-time, and eight years to complete the course part-time.
We're offering you a unique opportunity to develop and apply specialist skills in collaborative industry-focused projects.
You will develop a range of practical skills and techniques, and collaboration skills while developing an understanding of the professional, cultural, social, and technological contexts of your practice.
Your journey will begin at the foundation level, where you will establish core skills and techniques in common projects: Music Performance, Music Production, Studio Production, Sound Design and Creative Portfolio Development.
At level 4 you will begin to focus on developing specialist techniques for your chosen programme pathway, as well as collaborating in live projects with students from other programmes, including Music, Games, Media, Theatre, and Dance: Urban Practice.
Sound and music programmes at UEL develop an existing base of core skills in sound and music creation and production and apply these to specific industrial contexts in collaborative projects that simulate professional practice, and integrate with the music industry in live projects.
The BA Music Technology and Production programme will develop a core set of skills in Music Production and Studio Production, with some elements of sound design and non-linear performance and production processes shared with other programmes in the suite, and will also develop transferable skills (linked to UEL Core Competencies and the Career Passport) for the creative industries.
