Why students love us
-
"At Surrey, I love the flexibility and eclecticism of the modules - you can choose whether you want to take a more academic or practical path (or have an equal split). I’m also very grateful for the opportunities we’re offered (free concerts; performance opportunities; visiting lecturers; etc.) and the lovely friends I have made through the course".
-
"I’m passionate about the Creative Music Technology course because it’s so unique. It has taught me to think outside the box and has challenged me to compose within genres of music I didn’t even know about three years ago".
-
"The Music and Sound Recording (Tonmeister) course is the best of both worlds. You get to be completely immersed in the world of music while simultaneously learning about the interesting technological side of how sound is produced, manipulated and recorded."
