Joshua Barrass
BA (Hons) Music Performance"My degree course is very practical and can be tailored to whatever individual students want to achieve. The units are all quite broad, so you get more opportunities to specialise and create whatever music you want. For me, the chance to explore and express my own musical interests make the degree course far more enjoyable, since all my assignments are much more open to interpretation."
Lee Humphries
BA (Hons) Music Production“Studying the Music Production degree at Newcastle College University Centre has helped me achieve great things in my career, including Number 1 tracks and European headline slots. The knowledge I gained and the insights from tutors and peers will help me to progress into the future. I’d definitely recommend the Music Production degree to future students and I've already recommended studying at the University Centre to others."
