BA (Hons) Popular Music

Whether it’s underground or mainstream, DIY or commercial, acoustic or electric, this course is for musicians, songwriters and producers with eclectic styles and open-minded approaches to music making.

As an independent artist, you’ll learn how to promote and release your own work, creating innovative audio-visual portfolios based on experimentation, musicianship and a confident understanding of the industry. You’ll study the audio-visual elements of pop and develop ways of critically conceiving and creating ‘real’ and ‘virtual’ presences. As someone invested in how pop makes meaning, you’ll define a practice that’s stylistically sophisticated and future facing.
