MUSIC INDUSTRY COURSE INFO:
TEN MUSIC INDUSTRY EDUCATIONAL COURSE MODULES have been re-designed by a UK Music Industry Lecturer in Autumn 2008 based on the prestigious London Thames Valley University Music Industry Course from 2005/06. The course has been updated and tailor made for those living on the island of Malta with an interest in the worldwide music industry and will be taught by a professional UK Lecturer in Malta. Each of the 10 course terms will last 6 weeks, over 2 hours one evening per week.

Certificates will be awarded for each participant who successfully completes each individual course module with a SPECIAL CERTIFICATE for those that complete all ten courses. Eleven certificates are available to be awarded in total to each student.

Participants may choose to book as many or as few of the ten course modules as they wish but each intake will be STRICTLY LIMITED to allow maximum benefit in learning for each of the students with the Lecturer. Therefore initially an allowance of only 5 to 10 people will be accepted per course.
