"summary": "This course is the first year of our BSc (Hons) Music Production & Software Engineering degree\n\nUnlock the full potential of your creativity by combining music production with software development in this unique, industry-backed CertHE course. Developed in consultation with industry giants such as Ableton and Focusrite, the objective is to develop professional, industry-ready developers that will have a profound impact on music and future technology in general. When joining this challenging course, you receive a specially designed FREE Music Software Development Kit (MDK). This includes a complete development system (quad-core Windows PC) with music and coding software, plus portable audio interface and a programmable input device.\n\nDistinct from other music technology courses, CertHE Music Production & Software Engineering equips you with a dual skill set, combining production techniques in Ableton Live or Logic Pro with the ability to design and develop your own audio plugins and effects in C++. By learning the skills to code, design and create your own music software platforms, applications and plugins, including synthesisers and effects from scratch to an advanced level, you are being prepared for professional practice at the cutting edge of new music technology. This degree isn’t just about making music; it’s about pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, giving you full creative control from the first beat to the finishing touches of a mastering plugin. These transferable skills give you access to both technical and artistic careers in a cross-section of industries such as software and hardware development, professional audio, music and media plus any field of coding and computer science.\n\npointblank classes are small to ensure you receive ample individual time with your lecturers. You will have access to our specially designed MuSE studio. We are located in Shoreditch—a global hub of London music venues and bars—and feature industry-standard, state-of-the-art technology.\n\n**Current Validation and Degree Awarding Powers**\nThis course is delivered by pointblank Music School, currently validated by Middlesex University. \npointblank is applying for UK Degree Awarding Powers. If approved, either before your course start date or after you have enrolled, your qualification will be awarded directly by pointblank rather than Middlesex University, with no change to its level or value.",
