Leicester College

Formed in 1999 from the merger of Charles Keene College and Southfields College. Runs a fuller music technology pathway than a single course: a Level 2 Diploma (Music Industry Skills - Technology, one year, fee not published), a Level 3 National Extended Diploma (two years; its own fee table quotes a £2,882/yr 'Annual Tuition fee' plus a £40 materials fee and £20 towards visits, which reads as the fee-paying/adult rate rather than something charged to funded 16-18 students, though the page's wording on this is not fully clear: it only says those 19 or over 'may incur fees if you continue to the second year').

It also runs an HND Music Performance covering production and DJing as well as performance (two years, £6,525/yr, at St Margaret's Campus), and a Music Technology Foundation Degree validated by De Montfort University (two years, £6,525/yr for 2026 entry, rising to £6,695 for 2027, at Abbey Park).

An older Higher National Certificate course page for 'Music (Performance or Production)' now 404s, suggesting it's been superseded by the HND route rather than still running alongside it (worth confirming directly before assuming it's gone for good). Its own course pages state Leicester College is an Apple Pro Training Centre and Roland Academy as well as an Ableton Certified Training Center, though only the Ableton claim is independently checkable via Ableton's own directory.
