The convergence of music and computing technologies has increased the creative possibilities and potential for innovative and diverse new music and media. Multimedia communications are rapidly evolving and the ability to communicate through music coupled with an understanding of digital technology is a powerful combination. Advances in web design, video games, cable television and interactive entertainment require professionals with an understanding of media requirements who can also provide creative input.

The course provides the opportunity for you to combine musical ability, theory and sound manipulation skills in order to produce music and sound content for a wide range of new media.
We provide specialist facilities for composition, recording and post-production editing for you to produce music and sound content to industry standards. Throughout the course a wide variety of both technical and creative projects reflect current working practices and give you the opportunity to develop research and problem-solving skills.
