This degree builds upon Anglia Ruskin's strong reputation in electronic, electroacoustic and computer music as well as in the study and production of film. It benefits from outstanding facilities in our new Music Centre, as well as from our industry standard resources for digital video and 16mm film production, alongside professional tuition in screenwriting and film journalism.
Creative Music Technology combines particularly well with Film Studies, which seeks to expand your knowledge of and skills in cinema. Course content in both subjects provides an excellent balance between theory and practice allowing you to engage with essential critical and aesthetic approaches to film and music technology and to apply those creatively to a range of practical projects in both areas.
The course provides opportunities to screen or perform your work on and off-campus, to undertake commissioned work and to engage with the film and creative music technology industries, through self-generated work placements, thereby encouraging the development of critical knowledge alongside transferable and vocational skills.
Students take half their degree from Creative Music Technology and half from Film Studies. For further information about these courses, see the entries for BA (Hons) Creative Music Technology and BA (Hons) Film Studies.
