“I had long been a hobbyist musician and songwriter, so Stow’s HND Sound Production course looked ideal, allowing me to combine my musical interests with my technically-minded side. I can’t speak highly enough of Stow and my music lecturers. Thanks to them, I’ve now received a conditional acceptance from the University of the West of Scotland. I’ll enter the third year of the BSc Music Technology course and hope to move on to Honours after that.”
