Be part of a lively popular-music research community that embraces everything from metal music to film scores and work alongside performers, composers, and studio producers. You will join peers with backgrounds in cultural studies, sociology, music, and the creative arts to explore today's local live music scene and its connection to the broader industry. From researching gigs and events to composing scores for film and television, you will discover how various communities fuse to create this vibrant and expanding scene. Whether developing your songwriting and music editing techniques in our studios or organizing events and liaising with artists at Leeds Festival, you will gain the hands-on experience employers seek while gathering evidence to carry into your major research project.
