Overview
On our Music Technology and Composition BMus(Hons) course, you’ll develop your skills in both acoustic and digital audio workstation (DAW)-based music creation, as well as in production and performance. You’ll gain a broad view of composing with technology, exploring everything from writing for specific instruments, to using the studio and computers as tools to manipulate sound and multimedia. The course will give you opportunities to develop a career in composition, sound, sonic arts, or music production and you’ll learn in state-of-the-art professional-standard facilities. With 21 different studios, you'll have plenty of recording and composition studio space to use. We also have a huge range of DAWs, plug-ins, synths, mics, and processing equipment, all of which is regularly updated to industry standards. Love music? Or perhaps you have a passion for creative music technology, or music composition? On this course, you’ll have the opportunity to work with commercially successful tutors, internationally recognised researchers, and visiting artists who will help you build on your creative talents. During your studies, you can work with commercially successful tutors, internationally recognised researchers, and visiting artists. Past visiting artists have included John Warhurst, Oscar and Bafta winning Sound Editor (and Huddersfield alumnus), and Nitin Sawhney, producer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and orchestral composer.
