The programme offers topics relevant to practising musicians and sound designers, digital artists, and the creative industries, including sound shaping and design, audiovisual composition, creative sound recording, creative sound and media performance, and sound and media aesthetics. Later in the programme, you will develop an individual portfolio of creative practice based on your particular skills and interests.
2.1 Hons (or non-UK equivalent) in Music or Audio; we also accept degrees in other relevant subjects such as other areas of arts & humanities, fine arts, art & design, performance, electronics, computing or acoustics.
We may also accept degrees in Arts or Humanities subjects.
We may sometimes accept degrees at 2.2 Hons or non-UK equivalent.

The attributes you gain will be attractive to employers from the creative industries and are particularly relevant for careers in sound design and sound production, contemporary music, games, theatre, film and television. Previous graduates have built successful careers in broadcast media, digital games and immersive media production, and the wider creative industries, while many of our graduates undertake successful portfolio careers as sound practitioners and artists in their own right.
