Mature students - music production course

Are there any mature students doing the music production course?
What are the entry qualifications for mature students? I do have an HND in business and finance but I don't know how many points that is worth.

I am sure it will vary across institutions and be dependent on your previous experience. Entry gor performance courses usually require an audition and may even include a portfolio etc. The school/conservatoire/university website will provide the entry requirements for your course. You can also give the admissions team a call and talk through your circumstances.

HND's don't have any UCAS points as they are a Level 5 qualification and only Level 3 have UCAS points.

You would need a portfolio and possibly evidence of recent study. Some places may offer a foundation year if appropriate. However, do look into funding as because you already have an HND you may not be eligible for student finance for full degree. It may be an idea to look into top up degrees which are 1-2 year courses meant to top up an HND into a full degree.

I would probably need to do a foundation year as I don't have any real experience in music production.
