Contemporary songwriting, performance and production for release are the practical aims of the BA (Hons) Commercial Music. The university places it under Media on a weekday timetable in London and mentions collaboration with neighbouring music and music-business programmes. Audiences named in the notes include solo vocalists, rappers, DIY producers, independent artists and creative executives. Entry asks for 96 UCAS points or equivalent experience, four GCSEs at C/4 including English, and an interview.

About BA (Hons) Commercial Music
The BA (Hons) Commercial Music degree at the University for the Creative Arts is the full-time undergraduate award for modern songwriters, performers, producers, and creative music professionals linked with LCCM's commercial music provision. It is listed in the Media category on a weekday schedule and combines core and optional modules that encourage collaboration with peers on related music and music-business programmes.
Existing course copy positions the degree for solo vocalists and rappers, DIY producers, ambitious independent artists, and creative executives who want practical knowledge of writing, recording, and releasing contemporary music. That breadth can suit career changers entering the music industries, returners with prior creative practice, and applicants ready for the main bachelor's stages without a foundation year.

For UK students comparing funded creative degrees, AF Education can outline how this UCA/LCCM BA sits alongside other music options, discuss Student Finance England eligibility where relevant, and help you assemble application evidence without overselling outcomes or inventing entry grades.
