Songwriting remains one of the UK's biggest exports, with UK music stronger than ever. Popular song is the heart of the industry, and global demand for new songs is high. On our MA Songwriting you will nurture your musical creativity, focus and develop your professional portfolio, forge new collaborative networks, and engage in research designed to support your career as a songwriter.
The course is aimed at unpublished songwriters wishing to develop their craft to professional level, and published songwriters wishing to achieve academic accreditation while exploring their creativity.
You'll already be very much engaged in songwriting - this course is not suitable for beginners. However, lack of knowledge of music theory isn't a hindrance. You need "ideas".
Where you don't have a degree but have professional experience, we positively welcome you. Please complete an Accreditation of Prior Learning Experience (APEL*) form.
*APEL allows an applicant to convert informal learning into certificated learning. This is particularly significant where a potential student's work and life experience has afforded them knowledge, skills, and abilities comparable to those in a higher education award.
