        Grade 5 in Mathematics is preferred but Grade 4 will be considered based on grade profile across all relevant subjects.

        • Mixing and Mastering Techniques
        • Studio Design and Acoustics
        • Working and Developing as a Production Team

        At the end of the two-year course students will complete the externally assessed unit which takes the form of a fifteen-hour music production exam. This exam will take place over three days, with students completing five hours of assessment each day. The exam is worth 33% of the course.
