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.

The first year establishes fundamental theories and skills, culminating with the release of your first track. The second year takes a deeper look into the history and genres of electronic music, exposing you to new compositional techniques, and the chance to deliver your first live performance. The final year you will apply your skills to new, career-focused disciplines, and complete your studies with an ambitious and exciting project of your own design.
