Discover Your Creative Potential at Bath Spa University

Bath Spa University is an excellent choice for students looking to pursue a career in sound arts. The university has a reputation for providing high-quality education and training, with state-of-the-art facilities and equipment available to all students. The course is designed to provide students with the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in the field of sound arts, and there are plenty of opportunities to work on real-world projects and collaborate with other students and industry professionals. Plus, Bath Spa University is located in a beautiful part of the country, offering a unique and inspiring environment for students to learn and grow.

The course caters to those working in a wide variety of music genres, and at the same time also covers areas of practice such as soundscape recording and sound design, interactive audio (for applications such as live performance, gaming, VR, immersive environments, and installations), spatial audio, hardware/software (instrument) design, and interdisciplinary practice incorporating other media.

Most students won’t cover all of these areas but will use the course to develop an individually-tailored portfolio of skills, experience, and top-level work across them. We believe this to be appropriate to the current employment landscape, where many combine traditional roles in music with broader practice in sound and other media. The course also provides the breadth necessary for FE and HE teaching in this field, and provides a basis, where required, for Ph.D. research and beyond.
