Introducing Our New BA (Hons) Vocal Performance & Songwriting Degree

It’s official…

We are excited to introduce a brand-new performing arts degree, launching in September 2026. It focuses on refining your songwriting, strengthening your voice and building up the confidence to express yourself authentically.

We created the Vocal Performance & Songwriting degree with today’s musical landscape in mind. Modern artists rarely fit into neat boxes; they’re performers, storytellers, producers of their own ideas. This course is built to support that reality, helping you shape an artistic identity that truly reflects who you are.

You’ll learn through the same industry-focused curriculum and have access to world-class facilities and expert lecturers with deep experience across the music industry. You’ll also have full access to pointblank Recordings (PBR), our in-house record label, where you can receive A&R support and release your own music. What sets this course apart is its clarity of focus: a curriculum dedicated to vocal excellence, songwriting craft, and the real-world demands of performing original music live and in the studio. It reflects the changing shape of the music industry and the evolving expectations of modern-day artists. The BA (Hons) Vocal Performance & Songwriting is for you; for the storytellers, the performers and the artists ready to develop your craft and step forward with purpose.

An exclusive highlight of the degree is our intensive songwriting bootcamp, which is a rare opportunity to explore the limits of your creative potential and elevate your writing and productivity. With regular guest masterclasses, open mic nights and performance showcases, you’ll grow your network and confidence as a live artist. Throughout your studies, you’ll build your artistic identity, advancing your songwriting and vocal techniques. You’ll also gain essential entrepreneurial skills in music business, branding and self-promotion, empowering you to navigate the creator economy and build a sustainable career.

With an 83% graduate success rate into skilled employment, graduates of this programme go on to become successful songwriters, recording artists, vocal performers, topliners, and creative collaborators. Apply to our BA (Hons) Vocal Performance & Songwriting degree, and become the artist you’re meant to be: confident, creative and ready to share your voice with the world.
