A Dublin university has formally endorsed the concept that college is mostly about listening to My Bloody Valentine‘s Loveless. BIMM Dublin just announced the Kevin Shields Music Production Scholarship, which is named after the band’s frontman, as Consequence of Sound reports. It will cover the three-year cost for a bachelor’s degree in Music Production.

“It’s a good opportunity for a young producer to learn all about sound and techniques, it’s a cool course,” Shields told BIMM. 

The course description states that students “learn about the technology and techniques required to produce music across a wide range of contexts from traditional studio recording to film, television, animation, multimedia and live environments.” It’s for students seeking a career as a producer, live sound technician, or sound engineer, amongst other music industry roles—which means the lucky scholar might one day produce something like Loveless. Application information can be found here.
