Music degrees at UCA
If you want to make a career in music production, or in the business side of the industry, our degree courses in music production and music management are for you.
Whichever you choose, we'll challenge you to come up with imaginative solutions to creative briefs, and encourage you to explore the theory behind your practice. You'll also collaborate with students from our film, television, marketing and performance courses to build a diverse network and an impressive portfolio.
Throughout your studies, you'll be taught by expert staff with experience in broadcasting, composing, performance, artist development and music marketing, who have worked with artists from Emma Smith (Gorillaz) to the Edinburgh Quartet, and for music industry leaders such as BBC Radio, Sony and Universal Music Group.
You'll also make use of the extensive facilities at UCA Epsom and the Film and Media Centre at UCA Farnham, where you'll find specialist facilities for audio and video capture, control rooms, a dubbing theatre, and dedicated rehearsal and performance spaces.
