Last year students performed in live events at Newcastle shopping centres and hosted weekly DJ sets at the Centre for Life's Friday Night Skate. Students also shadowed in studios, worked with local promoters and sales companies.

English and maths are important skills for musicians. We will help to achieve a qualification in both if you do not already hold one, as well as help you to develop your existing skills.

You will explore maths through the development of technical language in music and using ratios when you work the mixing stations. You will also learn about language arrangement, as well as improve your communication in written work.

After successfully completing the course you can choose to progress straight into industry, an apprenticeship or move onto higher education.

Many of our students have progressed onto degree courses like our BA (Hons) Music Production.
