Despite a long-held aspiration to carve out a career in music, 40-year-old Ershad Alamgir had never imagined he could actually make it happen. He has a repertoire ranging from Indian classical music to western pop, rock, jazz and blues.

However, Ershad opted for a more traditional career and he became a lawyer before eventually moving into the hospitality sector.

It wasn’t until he spoke to his Managing Director that he reached a turning point.

“I casually mentioned how I’d always dreamt of being a music producer and he took me aback by asking me outright what I was waiting for," he said.

Ershad decided to go back to university to study but had missed all the application deadlines for the year. After finding out about Clearing, he checked online to find out what music production courses were available.

Just a few hours later Ershad received a phone call from the admissions team at Kingston University.

Within a week Ershad had enrolled on to the University’s BA(Hons) Music Technology degree course.

Ershad has now completed the first year of his degree.

The icing on the cake has been learning from world renowned music producer Tony Visconti.

Kingston University's hotline number for Clearing, confirmation and adjustment is open on 0800 0483 334 for UK callers.
