About This Course
This course allows students to develop a broad range of specialised knowledge and skills in audio and music technology, sound engineering and production.
Students will gain hands-on experience in studio work, music and sound tracking, audio mixing and mastering, sound design, Foley, composition, song writing and post-production for TV and film in our high-spec studios and multimedia editing suites. A series of events throughout the academic year will allow students to gain experience in live sound and lighting techniques whilst developing the necessary skills required in organising and staging events.
Students will develop the knowledge and skills required to find work and conduct business in an increasingly digitised sector.
As part of the course, students will be offered the opportunity to achieve certification in the Avid Pro Tools 100 series and DANTE, whilst developing competence in Reason, Adobe Audition, Sibelius, Ableton and other software.
