Studying at Oxford Creative Academy has definitely been a fantastic hands-on experience. I would recommend it to anyone hoping to kickstart their career into the music industry.

The first thing that attracted me to Oxford Creative Academy was their alignment with the industry, for me it was “the best way to learn is to be in a course that practically feels like you’re already in the industry!
