Programme Content

This practical programme lasts 30 weeks and is spread across two teaching blocks.
Altogether, you study three core modules and also get to choose a further two options in each teaching block.
These options allow you to tailor your studies to match your own aspirations.
This flexibility means that you can either broaden your skills base by selecting new areas of study or consolidate your area of interest by selecting options in which you already have some experience.
Most modules start at an introductory level and quickly progress towards a more advanced level over the duration of the course.
Teaching and Assessment
Teaching and learning is delivered through a combination of whole group lectures and small group workshops by our music and sound technology lecturers, as well as one-to-one instrumental or vocal tuition.
You are also expected to attend weekly music master classes.The course has a minor component of written work.
This is a largely practical course, and assessment is based on continual assessment and coursework in most cases.
You must complete all core modules and four options achieving a mark of 40% or higher in each to be awarded the Certificate.
