Each artist on the programme will be exposed to the huge range of opportunities that exist in the music industry, to exploit the commercial potential of their talents. The University of West London provides a unique approach to the field of electronic music education by allowing space for individual talent to flourish. The course is carefully structured to recognise and nurture your unique artistic identity, allowing you to develop and grow over three distinct years of study as a composer, performer and freelance producer. During the course, you will be able to work with a wide range of musicians and artists in one of the largest audio complexes in Europe.

What you'll study This course is a three-year journey of personal artistic development and musical creativity in which you will learn to harness and master hardware and software instruments to develop and perfect your productions.

Location Our location, close to the vibrant music scene in London, provides unique opportunities for placements, work experience and networking. And don’t forget, we have many sister courses in music performance meaning you have access to hundreds of musicians and vocalists on campus to use in your productions.
