Sound Design involves preparing all aspects of a soundtrack including dialogue, ambience, sound effects, Foley and music. You will learn about the film industry and the film production process, and gain expertise in creating, recording, editing, mixing and mastering audio using industry-standard software and hardware.
Our studios are equipped with Genelec 5.1 surround sound monitoring and a range of mixing desks, including a Toft ATB24, Audient 4816 and an SSL AWS900. We also share broadcasting, post-production and mastering facilities with our film courses.
Collaboration is an important aspect of the entertainment industry, so you will be growing your network by studying alongside Film, Games, Animation and Drama students – as well as other Music students.
After you have completed your second year, you will take a placement year. Previous placements include working with games companies, orchestras, theatres and recording studios. Throughout the course, there will be regular opportunities to create sound and music for real-world industry projects. You will also be able to attend guest talks and masterclasses from Film, TV and Music professionals.
