The single honours programme allows for an even deeper focus on these areas, including topics such as: audio for multimedia and broadcast; algorithms and interactivity; and additional artist development. Music Production provides you with the opportunity to develop lasting, transferable skill sets and a resilient and sustainable approach to practice.
