Introduction
Sound (Design) MA
The course delivers a mixture of advanced technical skills related to sound design and audio post production for film and other visual media. It also provides creatively-oriented insights into contemporary sound design practice and encourages students to push the boundaries of the field. Subject areas include:
- Sound sculpting, processing and synthesis
- The language and aesthetics of sound design
- Storytelling and dramaturgy
This is in addition to a wide range of more conventional post-production skillsets such as:
- Sound editing
- Foley and field recording
- Production workflows
- Track-laying
- Dubbing mixing
- Surround sound and VR audio
You won’t be expected to cover all of these areas. You’ll be able to use the course to develop an individually-tailored portfolio of skills, experience and top-level work across them.
MA Sound (Design) is part of a suite of postgraduate courses available across music and sound, operating alongside "sister" pathways in Sound (Production) and Sound (Arts), which allow further specialism in these areas.
