Are you an aspiring musician, composer or producer? MA Sound (Production) is designed to enable you to refine your craft and build a professional portfolio to help you thrive in the sound and music industry.

Working alongside fellow students and specialist staff, youll be able to take an interdisciplinary approach to sound production that encompasses contemporary electronic, experimental, and urban music. Youll get the chance to explore advanced production and recording techniques, mixing, mastering and engineering. While the course has a music production focus, it also covers key areas of practice such as:

composing for film and visual media

soundscape and field recording

spatial audio.

You wont be expected to cover all of these areas. Instead, youll be able to use the course to develop an individually-tailored portfolio of skills, experience, and industry-standard work.
