On completion of 90 Credit Music pathway most students choose to continue onto the Music or Music Tech. Extended Diploma second year. Some mature students choose to progress onto an HNC, further training or into employment. Students who complete the Extended Diploma Music can progress to Higher Education; many progress onto our in-house HNC Music (Production), while others may win places either at alternative Universities or at specialist institutions to follow degree courses in related areas.
