Production of Popular Music MMus: After you graduate

A high proportion of Music Performance MMus students obtain employment on graduation - either in the music profession itself, in related areas or in teaching - or enrol for further study (eg PGCE, MPhil or PhD). For those students who are already in employment and undertake the course part-time, the award may accelerate promotion and open up new opportunities.

The MMus Production of Popular music is a new award at Kingston, combining theoretical knowledge and practical skills. It is designed to equip you to enter the music industry, undertaking studio-based technical and creative work. Others may develop a portfolio career, common in the popular music industry, as composer, performer/composer and producer and be self-employed. The high level of research and transferable skills you acquire during your studies also makes careers in the wider commercial and business environments available to you.

Examples of recent graduate destinations for similar courses include:

• broadcast media co-ordinator at the BBC, London;
• composer for Jonathan Brooks Music, Cheshire;
• interactive editorial assistant for the BBC, London; and
• music production co-ordinator at Michael Paert Music, Surrey.
