Heh, you've applied for 3 of the same unis as me

I wouldn't have thought you'd need to take work with you. They can see your academic ability from your grades and marks. It's probably more so they can't get to know you a bit better and gauge your enthusiasm for the course, see if they really want you on it. I may be completely wrong here but good luck either way

I havnent seen the letter but apparently it says on it that you should bring some sort of work, which i'm assuming should be to do with the course, i.e. compositions or something. Which unis have you got offers from? You doing Music Production/Technology?

I've only just had my application processed by UCAS so nothing yet. I'm doing Computer Games Development but I think, at Staffordshire, both Music and Computing is done at the Stafford campus?

Anyway you can just ignore what I've said completely then! You would think it would be work related to Music Production/Technology so probably any compositions you've done or samples etc.

Did you mention anything about music you have produced in your personal statement? If so they will probably want to see that.

I mentioned I had recorded music with a band, and that i acheived 100% on my compostion for GCSE, and have done others. SO they probably want to see them, no doubt.

I had my interview today for music tech, they didnt actually ask to show any work, i took some anyway incase, but the interview was mainly talking about things i'd put in my personal statement why i think the course is the right course for me, what i think will be hard about coming to uni, how i think it will differ from college, then obviously about music and the sort of music im interested in, interview only lasts 10mins so theres not loads of time to say everything lol
