The best things about music at Newcastle University: “Studying at Newcastle University gave me the confidence I needed to seek out a career in the music industry. Learning skills meant I graduated ready for work. The most important skill I learned whilst studying, was the ability to think analytically. Having a network of contacts in the local music industry has proved valuable many times throughout my career.”
