Our HND is a full-time, pathway-specific course partially funded by SAAS (Scotland), suitable for all disciplines. A 2-year course encompassing our HNC as its first year. Curated and delivered by professionals and accredited by the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA), it is available in Edinburgh and Glasgow. Both centres boast state-of-the-art teaching and rehearsal rooms, MAC suites, recording studios and a team of dedicated tutors. Our unique draw has always been supporting students with their chosen pathway.

Students will gain a comprehensive knowledge of the music industry and get the opportunity to first and foremost perform, as well as network and organize gigs in collaboration with other musicians.
