Degree Level Courses to start at UD in September 2023

In September 2023 a new chapter – and term –  will begin at UD’s Talent House with our Level 4 Courses…

UD educates, empowers and creates life opportunities for young people inspired by the sounds, words and rhythms of Black music culture. Whether your future involves becoming a successful artist or a music producer, our Level 4 courses (the first year of a degree), awarded by the University of East London (UEL), will help you make your dreams a reality. 

Starting in September 2023, at Talent House, our new £4.1million purpose-built home in east London, a pioneering, state-of-the-art building at 3 Sugar Lane in Stratford, education will take centre stage.

From creating and performing material, to the marketing and publishing of the work, our courses provide development and understanding about the music industry, from the music industry. Thanks to UD’s extensive contact book and mentoring expertise, you’ll also have regular access to professionals working in record labels, social media, publishing and the live sector

We are passionate about excellence, and the potential for excellence in every young person we encounter. While it can be difficult to progress with so many barriers in place, entry into music and the music industry shouldn’t be a privilege or reserved for the few. UD is an expert friend to the music industry, and to the music educators who have the best intentions for the young people we work with – we want you to unlock your potential.

“Being a student (at UD) has been one of the most beneficial factors in my career to date. Being given the opportunity to present myself and my work to industry professionals has allowed me to make connections and put me in places I had no idea I’d be in this time last year.”Adrian Okezie aka Digital Mozart, UD Alumni, 2018-19
