Foundation Degree in Sound Engineering and Design
Foundation Degrees should not be confused with foundation/access courses. Access/foundation courses are short courses of up to a year long intended to prepare students for a higher education course. However, a Foundation Degree is a two-year, full-time course at an academic level similar to that of a Higher National Diploma. The distinctive feature is that the Foundation Degree has significant work-placement content. This means that students gain valuable experience of the business world.

The partnership between the University of Bolton and The School of Sound Recording in Manchester provides a unique learning environment combining practical experience and expertise with appropriate academic theory. Our degree has been designed in close partnership with key industrial players and provides a unique blend of hands-on practical training underpinned by a firm theoretical grounding.
