Course summary

If you've studied sound or music technology at university, been working in sound professionally, or if you've been experimenting with sound as a composer, designer, sound artist or engineer and are looking for a way to develop your voice, this programme may be for you. We balance challenging practical project work with theoretical study and this creates an inspiring and motivating work environment. We also run an annual festival of experimental electronic music called Dialogues, which students often participate in. Studying for an MSc in Sound Design will expand your craft and appreciation of opportunities for sound design across a range of media, musical and artistic practices. Our programme is practice-led and strongly interdisciplinary and we encourage students to create innovative and expressive sound media including the study of:

• film sound

• interactive game-audio design

• sound installation and sonic art

• sound software design

• creative music and compositional practices
