About your MA Creative Music Production Degree

Our MA Creative Music Production postgraduate programme provides an inspiring and creative space in which you’ll conduct detailed explorations of creative music production approaches, develop your artistic identity, and investigate innovative approaches to idea generation and the art of mixing and mastering. 

Focusing on the development of creative music production approaches, you’ll expand your practical, technical, and creative skills by critically analysing a range of producers and production styles while collaborating with your peers. 

By the time you graduate, you’ll know how to create, produce, and launch market-ready original music. You will also possess the industry-relevant artistic and technical skills required to work successfully and effectively in professional music production settings.
