Entry Requirements For This Course
Entry requirements
You will need:
- 112-128 UCAS tariff points (or equivalent) normally in a minimum of two subject areas including Music or a related subject area
- GCSE English and Maths (grade A*-C) or Level 2 equivalent.
We also ask for a minimum standard of musical ability. This is currently grade 8 Performance on your stated first instrument (or voice), together with grade 5 Music Theory and equivalent sight-reading.
If you do not hold these grades, but feel you are at the required standard, you may ask to be auditioned instead. The audition is informal and will include a relaxed interview. Overseas applicants can audition remotely by supplying a video of the audition process. Full details of this process are available on request.
Because the course focuses on music technology, you must confirm previous experience with music technology systems. If you haven't studied on a recognised Music Technology course, we will ask you to provide a portfolio consisting of at least two or three tracks on CD, together with a detailed report on how they were recorded and your involvement in the process.
International students need to meet our English language requirement at either IELTS at 6.0 or above and a minimum of 5.5 for each of the 4 individual components (Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening).
In some countries where teaching is in English, we may accept local qualifications. Please visit http://www.uwl.ac.uk/international/your-country to check for local equivalencies.
We offer pre-sessional English language courses if you do not meet these requirements. Find out more about our English Language courses
