  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MA One year full-time or two years part-time.

Masters Degree Description

Are you an aspiring musician, composer or producer? MA Sound (Production) is designed to enable you to refine your craft and build a professional portfolio to help you thrive in the sound and music industry.

Working alongside fellow students and specialist staff, you’ll be able to take an interdisciplinary approach to sound production that encompasses contemporary electronic, experimental, and urban music. You’ll get the chance to explore advanced production and recording techniques, mixing, mastering and engineering. While the course has a music production focus, it also covers key areas of practice such as:

  • composing for film and visual media
  • soundscape and field recording
  • spatial audio.

You won’t be expected to cover all of these areas. Instead, you’ll be able to use the course to develop an individually-tailored portfolio of skills, experience, and industry-standard work.
