Courses at WaterBear Sheffield

BA (Hons) and Master’s music degree courses in Sheffield

At WaterBear Sheffield we offer a selection of music degree courses for today's musicians, artists and music industry professionals. Our courses are designed in collaboration with our partners at Falmouth University, a pioneer in creative industries education, entrepreneurship and innovation. Course structure and content focuses on the development of specialist and transferable skills, and long-term career strategy. 

Our BA (Hons) degree courses all have music at their heart, whether it be performing, producing, creating, or business-focussed. The courses are built on 3 fundamental pillars – your music, your career and your music projects.  All study modules relate to one or more of those 3 areas. 

Our master’s degree courses have been designed for both music degree graduates and those with successful careers in the music industry.  Master’s level study focuses on a range of specialist areas, from music performance, to production, recording, business and professional project work.
