What the college says

The new BTEC National in Music combines up-to-date industry knowledge with the right balance of the practical, research and behavioural skills students need to succeed in higher education and in their careers. WHERE DOES IT LEAD? It provides access to Higher Education in Music, the sound and music industry and related fields. BTEC students can be better prepared in terms of the independent studying that's required at degree level, due to the portfolio-based nature of BTEC courses.
