What our students say
Daria Greth
Music: Production, Performance and Business BA
Our music facilities are probably the best I have ever seen. Our recording and live studios have everything you might need, and the technical team there is always available to help students. Area 51, the university’s live music venue (and personally my favourite place on campus), is an amazing space to level up your performance skills and practice with professional live gear.
Csilla Jakab
Music: Production, Performance and Business BA - 2022
I’ve particularly enjoyed the flexibility of my course. It has allowed me to build my own ideas into reality. Course material is always up-to-date, and oftentimes we look at the new developments and problems that the music industry is currently facing.
Tom Piner
Music Production, Performance and Enterprise BA/BMus (now Music Production, Performance and Business BA) - 2022
Having a place to perform and practice a live set, available for students to use all week, is incredible. I wouldn't be at the musical level I am now without the practice rooms.
