About this course

Pursue your passion for music on this career-focussed degree.

With our performance-led staff, you’ll challenge the value, significance and status of music in our society on our Music (Songwriting) degree.

You’ll develop technical skills, such as project management, music theory and lyric analysis, while building your research skills and social media skills to help realise your best work. Your practical work will culminate in a large-scale project that will help open doors in your future career.
