BA (Hons) Popular Music with Foundation Year
A foundation year helps you develop the study skills and self-confidence needed for higher education when you don’t reach the entry requirements for your subject.
Explore your own creativity and musical identity with a Popular Music degree at Canterbury Christ Church University. With a focus on popular music, this dynamic and practical course will prepare you for a career in the music industry.
With a BA in Popular Music from CCCU, you’ll develop strong skills in performance, instrumental technique, song writing, and composition, as well as having the opportunity to perform, record, produce, and compose your own music.
What’s more, you’ll learn in our purpose-built creative arts building, Daphne Oram, that houses the latest recording facilities, including professional-grade rehearsal, recording, and performance spaces.
Not only will you gain expertise in your chosen area of popular music, but you’ll have the opportunity to collaborate with students from other courses in the School of Creative Arts and Industries, which will introduce you to working with other professions in the field.
You'll also network with other musicians and professionals in the music industry.
We know employers are looking for dynamic, open-minded graduates who can adapt, innovate, and collaborate. So we have designed a new way of teaching and learning to ensure that you are work-ready for when you graduate.
