Designing Audio Experiences: Art, Science and Production MA
About this degree
This practice-based MA will create highly trained individuals who understand how humans make sense of the world through sound and can apply that knowledge, along with specialist technical spatial audio skills, to create compelling, convincing audio experiences for diverse audiences and contexts.
This course is the first of its kind, and unique in the world. It will develop both your artistic capacities, and your technical abilities, enabling you to produce ambitious, immersive audio experiences, whilst giving you the confidence to work in diverse teams and situations. You will learn the features and creative approaches that differentiate spatial audio approaches from more traditional audio workflows using industry-leading hardware and software.
As this course will be embedded within an Anthropology department, you will be expected to think critically about the role of sound across cultures and develop a multi-disciplinary approach. This will develop your artistic, personal interpretation of sound and soundscapes and you’ll be able to apply that to ambitious works that have the audience at their core.
Who this course is for
This programme is best suited to students wanting to develop their immersive audio experience design in a professional framework, guided by leading industry figures and informed by innovative and scientific approaches to immersive audio storytelling.
What this course will give you
Learning about audio experience design in an anthropological setting provides many opportunities for cross-disciplinary research and creativity. Along with learning audio storytelling and technical experience design skills, students can explore anthropological methods and ideas leading up to creating an ambitious practical work, mentored by leading factual audio storytellers.
