Course Overview

Music and Sound Design play a key part in how we experience the world around us.

During the course, you will learn how music and sound design are produced and embedded in the creative industries. You will explore how analog and digital technologies have shaped sounds both in terms of the aesthetics and the practices of musicians and sound designers. You will learn as part of a broader creative school and be encouraged to explore collaborations across other creative courses, such as film and game design.

On completing the course, you will have gained skills in sound design, electronic music production, and critical thinking, which will enable you to forge a career in the creative industries. Students on the course take part in extra-curricular live music events, festivals, and symposiums. We have staged concerts to showcase work in London, Berlin, and on Twitch.
