Course descriptionBSc Audio and Recording Technology
Programme
This programme is designed for people who want to work in the audio and recording industries. Whilst it is targeted at people with an interest in the technological aspects of the industry, if individuals have more artistic aspirations we would still like to hear from them.
The Degree covers the science and technology of audio and recording systems and how these systems can be used effectively in recording, mixing and mastering. It therefore equips graduates with the ability to join the music industry with a highly attractive portfolio of technical skills and abilities.
Students will study modules which include:
* Sound Recording, Mixing and Mastering
* The Principles of Electronics and Acoustics
* The Measurement and Design of Studios (recording and audio production environments)
* The Integration of Sound with other Digital Media (such as radio, video, multimedia and the web).
