Course Overview

In addition to professional work as performing musicians, graduates have gained employment as education professionals, lecturing in Further and Higher education as well as becoming peripatetic teachers for county music services and private schools.

The course requires students to work autonomously on large scale-projects that enable them to situate their unique roles within the industry. The department’s PULSE week of visiting industry professionals provides an excellent networking opportunity for students developing their emerging careers.
