BA (Hons) in Music Technology

On this music technology specialist course, you will acquire and develop the skills you need to work with contemporary sound and music, both pre-and post-production. In addition, you will learn the theory and techniques that are essential for creating music and audio to a professional standard.
 

While the course will focus on music production, it will also give you the opportunity to apply your work in a broader context and you will explore the fascinating areas of:

• sound design
• acoustics
• post-production
• emerging technologies and standards
• experimental sound art.
   

We will also help you to hone your business survival skills – essential for any self-employed specialist. Collaboration is an integral part of this course and there will be scope to join forces with students from LCM and other Schools. You will be able to work with musicians performing in a range of styles, including contemporary, pop, jazz, western and classical. Furthermore, you could expand your horizons by working with students in media, video and film, digital animation and games design. These opportunities will help to enhance your CV even before you have graduated.
 

Throughout the course, you will learn through traditional and applied methods including lectures, workshops and live sound work. Your recording and live sound work will take place in our dedicated workshops, so there is no need to book sound studios.
