Course content

Taking the science of musical sound as your focus, you’ll work in a cross-disciplinary environment, using theoretical and experimental work to explore the musical, technical and multimedia applications of acoustics and audio technology.

The programme aims to:

• provide a broadly based, scientifically oriented foundation in the area of music, acoustics and audio technology
• develop skills in research, computation, design and analytical problem-solving
• create a multidisciplinary learning environment that will prepare the student for careers in which a strong understanding of music/audio technology is required
• develop an ability to appreciate, understand and develop the creative potential of sound design

The emphasis of this programme is on science and technology in the context of musical and multimedia applications.
