My favourite thing about Leeds Beckett

Definitely the music studios, I spend a lot of time there. The staff at the studios know me so well now! They know my music and my preferred instruments and they really help me. The equipment in the studios is super high end, I don’t think other universities across the UK provide students with such good equipment to use. It’s all also open 24/7, which is fantastic.

A fact about me

I sing, I play the piano and the guitar. I have performed for Leeds Beckett quite a lot of times, and I’ve even played at a university fashion show event.

Why I chose Leeds Beckett

I’m actually currently studying my second masters degree here at Leeds Beckett. My first one in Music Production, I really enjoyed. It had the perfect balance of research and practical skills, and it was exactly what I was looking for.

I enjoyed it so much that I decided to stay and complete a second masters here too. This one is all about music for movies, so it’s a lot more specific than my last one. I really liked my tutors and I liked living in Leeds so I thought I’d go for it and study this course too. Maybe one day in the future I’ll do a PHD here – watch this space.
