Modules

YEAR 1 In Year 1 of your music production and sound engineering degree, you’ll be introduced to the fundamental skills that make a great sound engineer through practical and theoretical study. You’ll grow through an exploration of studio practice, creative recording techniques, mixing, and develop your understanding of music production as a whole through practical and analytical study. We’ll also introduce you to the audio industry and examine the key factors that go into a successful career as a sound engineer. Modules ● Studio Practice ● Music Production ● Production Analysis ● Mixing ● Creative Recording Techniques ● Industry Foundations YEAR 2 In Year 2 of your degree, you will begin to expand your skill set through several advanced modules focusing on music production, mixing and mastering. These modules will be complimented by the introduction to the world of acoustics and immersive audio, which will introduce you to new and innovative techniques that can be applied to your own processes. You’ll continue to develop your industry knowledge through the examination and completion of commercial briefs and will also conduct research which will provide the foundations for one of your final year projects. Modules ● Advanced Music Production ● Immersive Audio ● Advanced Mixing & Mastering ● Applied Acoustics ● Industry Practice ● Research Practice YEAR 3 In the final year of your music production and sound engineering degree, you will have the opportunity to channel everything you’ve learnt in the first two years into a series of larger projects that are directly linked to your specialism within music production and sound engineering. You’ll be given the freedom to identify, research and realise a project that resonates with your passions and expertise, alongside a more experimental and innovative approach to music and sound creation. You will also produce an extended research project, which can take the form of either a full written dissertation or a practical research project. Modules ● Innovation: Exploration ● Innovation: Realisation ● Investigation ● Professional Portfolio Development ● Professional Portfolio Delivery ● Research Project Programme structures and modules can change as part of our curriculum enhancement and review processes.
