Placement year routesExpand all +

Optional Placement Year (Sandwich)*

We have an option for all of our students to undertake a placement year and allow you to decide whether this is right for you once you have completed years 1 and 2 of your course. This time spent working in industry provides our students with crucial work experience, which is highly prized and much sought after by employers upon graduation. If you are successful in securing a placement you will have the chance to gain an additional Certificate or Diploma in Professional Practice, dependent on duration.

The additional placement year incurs a fee. For international students considering the transfer to the 4-yr SW route it's important to seek advice from the International Student Support team and the Home Office regarding any potential visa implications and costs. For UK students, advice should also be sought regarding SLC eligibility, if applicable.

* If you choose to take the sandwich route option, you will need to apply for this course by using the full-time UCAS code.

0 credits

Study Abroad

If you're studying on our sandwich route you can also opt to study abroad for a full academic year, or for a semester, during Year Three. This is an optional and additional period of study that complements your degree at NTU as an alternative to taking a work placement.

This is an exciting opportunity to experience a different national culture, teaching and learning styles and subjects in an international environment. The destination university must be a year abroad / exchange partner of NTU or member of a formally recognised scheme such as the International Student Exchange Programme (ISEP).

Our NTU Global and student mobility team will support you in finding the right opportunity from one of the many international partners available around the world.

Through engagement with professional practices and critical self-reflection, you will develop a portfolio that not only highlights your achievements but positions you confidently for your next steps.

Final Capstone Project

Final Capstone Project is the culmination of your degree and an opportunity to integrate your learning, skills and experiences. This is your chance to create something meaningful, challenge yourself, and showcase who you are as a professional in your field.

At the core of your project is a practical, creative or research-led negotiated output – what this entails depends on your discipline area. These projects may be prescribed, collaborative or individual.

Whatever form your project takes, you are expected to frame it as a research project as well as to consider aspects such as existing and/or emerging technologies (including AI), ways of working, sustainability and social responsibility. Moreover, you are required to critically reflect on the distance travelled, the role collaboration played and any challenges you faced and overcame. You are invited to link this reflection with your personal and professional goals. Your appendices will evidence processes and experimentation within your subject area.

40 credits

Final Capstone Project: Preproduction

In this module you will apply what you have learnt throughout your course and start developing a Final Capstone Project. Working with your peers and lecturers, you will negotiate collaborative practice and individual achievement with the view of showcasing your work.

Depending on your course, these final capstone projects may be prescribed, collaborative or individual.

By the end of the module, you are expected to have arrived at an evidence-backed plan that can be implemented in Semester 2. You will have assessed any possible challenges and risks, including how collaboration and ethical considerations may affect your journey.

You will be submitting a project proposal for approval at the end of the module. In addition, you are expected to provide planning documentation and/or examples of work which will be negotiated with the course team when the assessment is set.

Any project work or expenditure can only take place after the project has been approved by the relevant course team.

The delivery comprises discipline-specific practical classes as well as lectures that will help you to design and contextualise the project.

Emerging Technologies

This module explores the cutting edge of music production through a critical and practical engagement with emerging technologies. You will investigate and apply tools such as AI-assisted composition, spatial audio, real-time collaboration platforms, and immersive audio environments (e.g., VR/AR). Through a series of guided workshops, students will develop a focused understanding of how these technologies are reshaping creative workflows, production techniques, and audience experiences. The module emphasises hands-on experimentation, critical reflection, and the integration of new tools into professional practice. Assessments are designed to encourage both technical proficiency and conceptual depth, with opportunities for synoptic application of skills and knowledge gained throughout the degree.

We regularly review our course content based on student and employer feedback to ensure they remain current and relevant. This may result in changes to module content or availability in future years.

Artificial Intelligence and Innovation in Music Production

Our BA (Hons) Music Production course embraces artificial intelligence as a creative collaborator, not a replacement for human artistry. We believe AI amplifies imagination, offering new ways to compose, mix, and design sound while keeping human expression at the heart of music-making. Students gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge tools such as AI-assisted mastering platforms, generative composition software, and machine-learning plugins for sound design and audio restoration. Alongside practical exploration, the course engages critically with the ethics of AI in music—addressing originality, authorship, and industry impact—so graduates can innovate responsibly. This future-focused approach ensures our students are prepared to harness AI to enhance creativity and shape the next generation of music production. Find out more about AI, Creativity and Innovation at the Nottingham School of Art & Design | Nottingham Trent University.

Contact hours

For each 20-credit module, you’ll spend about 200 hours learning overall. Around 40 of those hours will be taught in lectures or seminars. The rest of the time is for independent study, reading, research, or working on assignments.
