Ask a Current QUB Student | Queen's University Belfast

Hi @tgordonmallory!

It's Tyree here, I am currently a third year doing the Music and Audio Production course so I can definitely help you with any questions you have.

Personally I love it, you have so many opportunities to get into recording studios and the facilities Queen's have for their music courses are great. You have the opportunity to include sound design modules into your course too, I did this with some radio and broadcast production modules. Theres chances every year to overlap your studies into different sectors of the courses Queens offer, such as film studies, broadcast production and sound design.
The great thing about this module is that it's not just focused on audio recording. You have the opportunity to get into song writing, performance, composition, stage and lighting set up and you get to do this with industry professionals. We have many workshops where we can talk to these people and make connections for later in life. I personally love that about the course, we get to focus on specifics that are important to us and our futures while also learning about the overall recording process.
Currently in third year we have placement, and you can do this in many different places which gives us even more experience for our futures. I know people from my course that are doing their placement at Queens, others at primary schools and I'm doing mine at a radio station so you really do have a lot of control over exactly what you want to focus on.

https://www.qub.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate/music-audio-production-ba-w374/#careers if you look into this link it shows where most graduates from this course end up, some including the BBC and UTV.

If you have any more questions please do let me know, and I'll be happy to help! I'm so glad to hear you're considering these courses, they are a lot of fun and sometimes you don't even realise you're learning because it's that interesting.

Hi again, I was just wondering regarding me choosing one of the degrees if I changed my mind on whether to do audio production or sound design early in starting the Uni (say the first 2 weeks) is there any way for me to switch? I am having trouble between deciding the two but hearing that I can choose modules helps, I am assuming there is not too much of a difference but I just don't want to lock myself down in doing something for 3 years knowing I may enjoy doing the other course more. Thanks.

Hi, I've received an offer for liberal arts which I'm hoping to firm! However I can't find any information online on how to degree is awarded at the end? Specifically in regards the pathway. Is there any formal qualification you get that recognises the pathway you choose? e.g BA Music and Liberal arts

Hi
Could you please share some information about the summer vacations and other holidays for medical students studying at Queens Belfast
Thanks

Hey👋

After having your place confirmed, how long does it usually take to receive more information from Queens?

Also, when does induction usually take place, if the course starts on 18/09?

Thanks! 😊
