About this Programme
This programme is aimed at producing professionals for the recording industry capable
of assuming key creative and architectural roles in the process of analyzing, developing
and realizing the creative intentions of the recording artist to a commercial conclusion.
The programme is designed to continuingly strengthen the students’ understanding and
awareness of a wide range of aspects of Music Production. This is achieved through the
delivery of a suite of carefully developed modules covering Production, Technology, Theory,
Craft, Musicianship, Research and Personal Development. The artistry of modern Music
Production assumes a diverse range of interrelated disciplines. Creativity, science, recording
technologies and techniques, musical appreciation and awareness, business, interpersonal
skills and more, combine to form the rich diversity of strands that is the BA (Hons) Production
of Music and Audio. The fundamental backcloth for this programme is the carefully scaled
sequence of production projects from year 2 on. These projects are key to the students’
progressive development and learning and are greatly facilitated by not just the high
standard of teaching delivery but also by the excellent recording studios and audio labs in
the Institute. Every student on the programme is afforded significant studio session time in
addition to their normal scheduled learning activities.
