While there, you’ll be exposed to projects at MediaCity UK, where the BBC Philharmonic records soundtrack and where all the BBC studios are located. You may even encounter Simon Cowell from Britain’s Got Talent or cast members from Sherlock walking about the MediaCity campus! Upon graduation, you’ll have the knowledge and skills to do professional recordings for any music venue and/or to open your own recording studio.
