Introduction
Writing music for films and visual media is an inspiring and exciting field, giving free expression to your ideas and emotions. It is, however, a very demanding job, requiring specific technical skills and expertise, which you must acquire through a solid education.
The MSc in Music Scoring for Visual Media and Sound Design offers a national and international advanced education of excellence that will develop your craft and art of composing, orchestrating, editing, and mixing music for the screen.
Our program will equip you with the skills to master the entire music production process, from musical composing to post-production, in the music-for-media landscape: film, advertising, television series, video games, and so forth.
You will hone your skills in composition, orchestration, sound design, creative management, artistic entrepreneurship, and finally post-production on the Dolby Atmos spatial sound system, with the benefit of a partnership with DOLBY (website). At the end of each year, you will have the opportunity to record your own creation with a full orchestra, thanks to a unique partnership with the prestigious Orchestre National de Cannes (website), recognized as a National Orchestra in 2022.
