Here is what one of our former students says about it:
I had a great experience studying the AMS Online BA Hons Music and Sound Top Up course. The course covered a broad range of subjects which enabled me to develop in areas I wasn’t as confident in before and eventually excel in these areas throughout my studies.The highlight of the course was the one to one mentorship meetings with my tutor. I highly recommend anyone looking for a career in music to study with AMS.
