Course detail & modules
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.

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.

My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
