Course summary

By utilising cutting-edge tools and technology to address real-world challenges and acquiring practical expertise in working with audio software, hardware, and digital audio in studio and production environments, our BSc will equip you with an advanced technical skill set in two rapidly evolving industries. Why choose this course?

  • Access a wide range of equipment including supercomputer facilities and a VR lab
  • Graduate with a substantial music and audio portfolio using industry standard software and hardware

Computer science begins with exploring the fundamental concepts and techniques for modern, professional programming which will become more advanced throughout your degree programme. This includes areas such as games programming, artificial intelligence and cyber security, with the consideration of cutting edge research in AI and machine learning. You will also have the opportunity to further specialise in your studies and apply the techniques you have learnt, through a final year project. Music Production enables you to explore the cultural context in which sound is produced for and consumed in across various media forms. Through workshops, tutorials and assessments, you will develop technical skills, creative practice, and academic knowledge by working with audio software, hardware, and digital audio in studio and production set ups. Taught by staff with international experience and research in a range of specialisms, you will gain experience in sound recording, sound design and digital sampling.
