As an MA Sound Design student, you will create sound for environments that are immersive, interactive, and responsive.
Taught by a team of specialist researchers and practitioners, the course adopts an interdisciplinary approach to exploring the relationship between sound and narrative across a range of professional contexts. Combining the artistic with the technical, you will learn to capture, manipulate, and craft soundscapes for film, television, radio, games, virtual reality, and sound installations. You will also gain the essential tools to interrogate your practice through research and analysis.
The School of Digital Arts (SODA) provides a dynamic community that spans diverse skills and approaches, creating a space for collaboration and experimentation while encouraging you to network with other emerging creatives.
By developing your own artistic identity across a wide range of areas, this course will enable you to become a self-sufficient creative, equipped to meet the demands of a competitive and international creative industry.
