Professional Music (Electronic Music)

The degree course for electronic music producers and DJs.

The BA (Hons) Professional Music (Electronic Music) degree is designed to give you the tools you’ll need for a sustainable career as an independent artist and self-reliant music professional.

It will provide you with the knowledge and motivation you’ll need to reach your full potential, get your music heard and create consistently high-quality musical output. And like all degree courses at WaterBear, it gives you the perfect blend of artistic freedom alongside practical strategies to forge a solid career in music.

As an electronic music artist, it’s all about having the technical skills to unlock creative potential. It’s also about finding your sound and developing the confidence to communicate what’s in your head. You’ll be able to access a wide range of content, resources and tuition to suit your individual needs. All online content from our full range of courses is accessible to everyone, so you can tailor your own learning journey.

At WaterBear, we believe in smaller class sizes and the value of personal 1-1 mentoring. We also believe you should have the freedom to explore what’s possible and continually push creative boundaries. All students on our 3-yr degree courses learn in small groups on pro-standard gear in environments designed to fuel creative output.

Students at WaterBear also get free, bookable access to professional rehearsal and recording studios, so you won’t need to worry about where to create, record, mix or master your music.

This course is taught at WaterBear in Sheffield, and awarded by Falmouth University.
