Ever wonder what it would be like to do a master’s after working in the industry?
Going back to university after working in the industry is a significant decision that many people make to pursue further education, change careers, or gain new skills and knowledge. Here are a few tips on getting back into education after being away from it for so long:
- Clarify your goals: Are you seeking to advance in the area you currently work in? Or are you wishing to switch careers or pursue a passion?
- Research a range of courses: At Tileyard we have a number of master’s and short courses so that you can find the right pathway for you.
- Consider your work experience: Your prior experience can be an asset when returning to university in terms of skills which can ultimately complement your academic pursuits. We also have a handful of courses that take on board those without an undergraduate degree, with 3+ years of experience as an alternative.
Music Master’s Courses
Whether you are coming straight from an undergraduate degree, or have spent a number of years working in the industry and have decided to get back into education, we at Tileyard Education have a number of courses available.
Our differing courses are tailored to individual needs, with each course offering 1-2-1 tutoring from industry experts. On top of this, our courses also see you work in small classes, as well as on demand tutorials. We understand it can feel quite daunting going into a master’s after spending time working in the industry, and every year a large chunk of our cohort is made up by those that have decided to get back into education.
We have a number of success stories, including the likes of rapper Tarju, and singer-songwriter and producer Renee Rain Thomas. Both graduates from Tileyard have expressed in their post-Tileyard interviews that Tileyard was a great way at shaping their career, as well as opening the door to a number of opportunities they may not have had without a master’s degree.
Summer Music Camps & Short Courses
A great way one could ease their way back into education is through our summer camps and short courses. Our summer camps are a great way to network with others, as well as putting into practice any skills or knowledge that you may have.
We are hosting two camps this summer, both in London, one based on songwriting, and the other centred around music business. If you live outside of London, we can assist you with finding accommodation. You can enquire today for more information.
Whereas, our vast range of short courses are yet another great way to ease one back into education. Hosted through Musicgurus, these short courses range from mixing for film and TV, to mastering and vinyl cutting. These courses allow you to get hands-on experience from industry experts like Goetz Botzenhardt and Paul Whalley.
