If you’re aged 18 or over, take advantage of our two Foundation Degrees in Audio and Music Technology, and Music Performance at ACC Norwich.
If you’ve got a Level 3 qualification and want to explore the exciting challenges and opportunities of Higher Education without commiting to the full course right away, a Foundation Degree can be a great option to get you on the right track.
On either of our two year courses, you will finish with a recognised qualification and a direct route to a full Honours Degree, with an additional top up year should you want to!
Our Foundation Degrees are accredited by Nottingham Trent University. Not only do they oversee the curriculum and teaching of said courses, but you also get exclusive access to their centres and Student Union, including use of their dedicated facilities and library.
Learn composition and musical arrangements, music theory, performance techniques, essential recording skills for musicians, industry trends and development as an instrumentalist.
We’ll work with you to build your confidence, communication, creativity and independence to ensure you’re equipped professionally and personally for the future.
