What You'll Study

1 Year 1
Students will build skills in sound and music production, studio and location recording, electronic arrangement, composition, editing and postproduction. They will begin to think about their own music composition and sound design, building confidence by working to set briefs. They will also gain a fundamental knowledge of the industry and the varied opportunities for work they will be aiming for. We encourage students to start thinking about their contextual studies research.
2 Year 2
Students will gain a greater understanding of equipment and software and think about the specialist areas of music composition and sound design in which they are used. This will allow them to enhance their practice and develop their own approach based on standard industry workflows. Students will engage in creative briefs that encourage them to collaborate with other students and create work as part of a team.
3 Year 3
Students will bring their learning together in a final portfolio of skills. Alongside this, they will complete a self-initiated project. We ask students to show their contextual studies research and thinking in a long form dissertation. The final portfolio will act as a showreel or promotional tool for entry into the industry.
