Course summary

Our MMus Composition for Screen with Integrated International Pre-Masters is a year-long preparatory course of study to ready you for your Master’s in the UK, developing your English speaking and writing together with your specialist skills, research acumen and confidence in working autonomously. UCA's Master's degree in Composition for Screen will give you the skills and knowledge you'll need to become an accomplished composer for film, television and other digital media. Taught by experienced staff still working in industry and guest composers from the professional world, you will develop a strong technological foundation in the subject, along with specialist understanding of game, animation, television and film scoring. The degree is taught within our industry-standard recording studios, supported by specialist technicians. You will be actively encouraged to build collaborative opportunities and networks at UCA for projects in film, animation, game, documentary and more. In the first term, you will study units introducing you to working and recording in studios, and the core skills of film and animation scoring. In the second term, the programme moves onto the critical analysis of media music, and media composition practice including game, TV and documentary. This work feeds into original collaborations that you may choose to include in your final portfolio.
