Highlights from Music and Sound

Congratulations on your offer to join our vibrant and exciting Music Production degree within the department of Creative Industries at University of Staffordshire.

We wanted to share some of the fantastic projects that our Music and Sound students have been working on, so you have a flavour of the experiences you could be having when you join our Music and Sound community.

From our students being immersed in an electrifying mix of guest lectures, masterclasses, field trips, and hands-on workshops spanning everything from hip hop beat-making and horror Foley, to mastering video game sound design and professional music production.  These experiences are building killer portfolios and giving students the real-world skills and industry insight they need to launch thriving creative careers.
