On Saturday 17th June a small group of students attended the university open day for South and City College in Digbeth where there is a university degree in Popular Music. The course is different to traditional music degrees as it has a focus on developing musical skills relevant to the music industry while providing opportunities for students to work in the industry as they study. Students were able to visit the university’s own venue where students are able to organise and perform in their own gigs as well as visit the recording studios. Highlights included visiting the area around the college and seeing the art and incredibly we were allowed to have a close look at a mixing desk donated to the college by Metallica
