Well I know that in UK there are 'music technology' courses of varying types, some teach how to use production software and how to generally work a studio, so you should find some college coursees over there which do the same.......
Some of my local colleges run DJ courses where you learn everything including how to mix and how to produce tunes. But after hearing some mixing efforts of those involved I think its one to miss!
heres where iam going
http://www.fivetowns.edu/
Five Towns was the first college in New York State to offer a Jazz/Commercial Music program when it was chartered in 1972. Since that time Five Towns has continued to be innovative by offering unique programs in music, business, and liberal arts. Today, Five Towns is on the cutting edge of the media revolution, giving emphasis to digital technologies.
\The recording studios at FTC are world-class, and provide students with hands-on training with Solid State Logic (SSL) equipment. The College's television studios are equally superb, and provide students with state-of the-art training in all aspects of production.
it has 3 music studios

Anybody know anything about A.R.T.I. (Audio Recording Technology Institute) or Full Sail in Orlando? Please post anything you have heard about these schools.
Berkley is good, but most universitys have a music program. I went to SJSU in CA and just minored in electronic music. They had a protools mix 24 board lalala, the equipment doesn't matter shit because you will be producing at your studio at home all the time. The only thing that matters is the concepts. I learned tons from attenting a few classes, hey music theory is excellent also for writing trance and knowing your keys too.
Digital synthesis was a kick ass class, we had to listen to these electronic pieces that are all about how difficult they are to make and how strange they can be. You have to listen for details and desribe every bit anlytically. It really helps you listen to tracks and be able to pick up everything.
Of course they taught me all this stuff about compressors and I didn't understand any of it until a year later when I started using a compressor and actually then started to understand the function.
Honestly I did learn tons at school, but you can sure learn tons on your own by reading. Subscribe to electronic musican, read it for 2 years.... that brings you to a different world, once you know mostly everything and the issues get boring... at least the tech articles then you have reached a level.
Tons of mastering and programing pdf's exist. Berklee has free online materials as well. You can buy books to read about music, etc. Classes are available at the community college level for $100< that will help you. I have taken songwriting classes, they help you understand structure of a song.
The more you put into it, the more it will come out, in this world of music production you always have something else to learn.
By the way to get into Berklee you need some good grades from what I heard. USC also has a good music program, but lets face it most schools have some pretty damn good teachers. At SJSU the main guy that teaches mixing and recording did work with Black Sabatha (I.E Ozzy Ozborn) Donna Summers, and many others but those are the only two I remember.
Hey it is a small community of people that get into music and if you want to do it, you end up working with some big names. So I worked with a guy who worked on some big stuff and honestly I didn't even get to the advanced stages of mixing with him since I didn't take the full program.
Guess who taught me how to mix: I did! It took me a year or so until the mixes sounded good at all, but know I can mix and it sounds pretty damn good. I am no mastering professional, but hey it sounds pretty goddamn good for only doing this a few years. Lots can be learned by reading mastering technical stuff and just reading about the art of mixing, since it is an art.
Well good luck, I would recommend starting a a university or wherever makes you comfortable. If you want to really learn everything you need it is going to take you a lot more then what a 4 year program could offer.
