Researching Universities
Generally, I'm pretty sure I want to take a year off before pursuing University however, I'm still planning to do all the research and apply this year to hopefully defer until 2026. I've struggled to decide for awhile if I want to actually pursue music as I can't truly see anything I'm good enough at within music to make a successful career out of it. Luckily, I recently discovered a career called Music Therapy which interests me. https://www.bamt.org/music-therapy/what-is-music-therapy
UWE Bristol

Here I've been looking at the Creative Music Technology course which is 3 to 4 years long.
I'm also quite interested in a career within Music Therapy and have found this uni offers a 3 year part time masters in it, albeit on a different campus. https://courses.uwe.ac.uk/B99942/music-therapy?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIxqTB28y9iAMVLIpQBh2Qzjh_EAAYASAAEgKfNfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds#entry
