We are excited to kick off your journey during the week of 16 September with a programme of welcome activities. This series of introductory activities has been designed to help you transition smoothly into university life. You'll receive crucial information to start your studies on the right foot, meet our dedicated staff, connect with your fellow students, and familiarize yourself with the campus. Dive into the heart of your course and our academic community by participating in as many activities as possible!

To get a feel for some of the activities our students have been involved in, visit our Instagram @cccu_music.

In addition to other exciting activities, you will have access to our Creative Agency, which supports students by providing opportunities to engage in paid projects and develop a portfolio of work essential for preparing for your future career. The Agency also facilitates student collaboration, allowing students to contribute to each other's projects across the School of Creative Arts and Industries.

Once your University IT account has been activated, you will be able to access our resources, including Library resources and relevant software. On our Blackboard pages (virtual learning environment platform) you will be able to find detailed information about your course, as well as about supporting services and opportunities available to you.

At the beginning of your academic course, you will be assigned to a personal tutor, who will provide you with academic support throughout the course and act as a gateway to support and development services offered elsewhere in the University.

After welcome week you will begin work on your first three modules that you will study in Trimester 1: Theories, Critiques and Techniques; Collaborative Practice; and Creativity, Culture and Community.

Your welcome and induction will be w/c 16 September 2024 - we look forward to meeting you then.

As an MMUS student, you are considered a researcher whether your field is performance, composition, production or critical writing. To familiarise yourself with the research of the School, please take a look at our research pages and research repository.

The work that you undertake in your Final Project module will be unique to you as a performer, composer, producer or scholar. Before you begin your course, think about what you would like to include in, and get out of, your final performance, creative portfolio, or dissertation so that you can present this to your supervisor when you first meet them.

To prepare for your first sessions, you will have access to our Virtual Learning Environment (Blackboard). This will give specialist reading lists for each module and will help you structure your learning beyond the lectures/workshops.
