UCW music students also benefit from a great guest lecture programme, which in recent years has included composers, studio owners, technicians, designers and representatives from important
industry organisations including the Musicians’ Union.

The undertaking of a substantial research project on a music-related topic of interest also prepares students for postgraduate study.

The taught elements of this degree are also complemented by regular one-to-one and group skills workshops. So you can improve your instrument and equipment skills with our lecturers and experienced visiting experts – all at no extra cost.

Students on this course are based at our recently-refurbished Loxton Campus. It has ample rehearsal and performance spaces, and we put on a programme of our own shows throughout the year.

Students are also able to take advantage of everything on offer at our new University Centre in the Winter Gardens in the centre of Weston.

We’d be happy to arrange a bespoke visit of our facilities. You can also meet the team and find out more about everything else going on at UCW by attending our next Open Day. Please contact either the course leader Lee Sullivan or UCW’s HEART team for more information.
