Whether you choose to study online or on campus, MA Music Production at dBs Institute will help you develop professional-level production skills in a studio setting and at home.

Whether you are pursuing a career as a studio-based music producer, an independent artist, sound engineer, or you’re already a working musician looking to diversify your skills, the MA Music Production degree will help you learn professional techniques that will help you in your future career.
Music production covers a broad range of disciplines, and in a highly competitive music industry, it’s advantageous to specialise in a specific area. During your master’s in music production at dBs Institute, you’ll explore a wide range of specialisms and hone in on the one that suits you best.
The Creative Exploration module allows you to explore areas such as immersive audio in our dedicated Dolby Atmos Suites, hardware production, modular synthesis, sound design, advanced recording, programming and much more. You’ll align your skills with your interests and explore new territories in preparation for the final Project Realisation module.
Across all of our undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes, we understand the vital importance of personal tuition. Studying at dBs Institute, you won’t be one of countless students getting a cut-and-paste approach to education, but an individual who we understand has unique interests, ambitions and skills.
You’ll be able to explore what you are passionate about with 1:1 tuition from our expert tutors, ensuring that your learning experience is tailored to you and what you want to get out of your degree.

Through the completion of this work and by being surrounded by like-minded music producers and creatives, students on the MA Music Production degree will graduate armed with the knowledge and connections to take proactive steps towards their dream careers.
