Whether you're a recent graduate or an industry professional, develop your skills on our Commercial Music MA. - Flexible, adaptive and designed for both recent graduates and current professionals. - Opportunity to specialise in Music Production, Music Business or Songwriting. - Work alongside tutors with the highest level of experience in the music industry. On our Commercial Music MA, you'll build on your current skills and experience whilst focusing on a particular area of the music industry: Songwriting, Music Production or the Music Business. You'll choose your modules based on your individual career aspirations, and work towards a major project focused on your specialism: - As a songwriter, you could create your own album, or write for others, and develop a showcase of material to pitch to publishers. - As a producer, you could apply your skills to your own music or focus on producing for other artists. Your focus on the music business could encompass anything from artist management to setting up your own promotions company or starting a record label. Whichever specialism you choose, you'll be working with tutors who have worked in the music industry at the highest level. Their experience includes number one albums, gold and multi-platinum recordings, BAFTA awards, Grammy nominations, and international touring and recording experience.
