Edinburgh College

Edinburgh College formed in 2012 from the merger of Jewel and Esk College, Stevenson College and Edinburgh's Telford College. Sound and music production is taught at the Milton Road campus, which has four SSL studios, four PreSonus studios and dedicated spatial-audio post-production rooms, alongside a 200-capacity auditorium.

The route runs from a UAL Level 2/3 Diploma through a two-year Sound Production HND (SCQF Level 8) to a one-year BA (Hons) Audio Production top-up (SCQF Level 10), the last two validated by Kingston University London. HND tuition is £1,285/yr, paid directly by SAAS for eligible Scottish residents; the BA top-up runs at £1,820/yr under the same route. Pro Tools, Logic and Ableton Live are all taught across the levels.

A separate Kingston-validated BA (Hons) Music and BA (Hons) Music Business run from the Sighthill campus. HND entry needs two Highers or equivalent plus an interview and sound-production work samples; the BA top-up needs an HND at Merit grade or accredited prior learning.
