Liverpool John Moores University

Three-year BSc (Hons) Audio and Music Production at LJMU's Byrom Street campus (4 years with a paid industry placement, or a study-abroad alternative), taught within the School of Engineering rather than a dedicated music department, covering studio production, live sound, podcasting and broadcast mastering.

UK fee is £9,790/yr for 2026/27, rising to £10,050/yr in 2027/28; the university's public fee pages don't list a course-specific international figure.

Programme leader Dr Sebastian Chandler-Crnigoj holds a 2020 LJMU PhD on binaural/3D audio testing and has published research on audio-zoom beamforming and deepfake-audio detection: solid academic credentials, though more research- than industry-practitioner-facing.

LJMU cites graduates going on to BBC Radio 4, Sky, ITV, Channel 4 and Bauer Media, but these are the university's own marketing claims, unverified independently, and no independent accreditation body (JAMES, AES) was found to cover the course.
