The course, which focuses on exploring current and emerging technologies applicable to contemporary sound design, provides opportunities for students to develop their practical skills in audio for film & TV, game audio, theatre sound and audio/visual installations.

Students will also develop a theoretical understanding across a range of skills in pre-production, production and post-production.

The course centres around the use of the university’s Wall recording studio and audio post-production suites, which are accessible to students 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It is designed to teach and develop skills across disciplines and covers a broad range of technologies that will help in the development of your own portfolio.

As well as the recording studios, the course is built around the practical use of the university’s Centre for the Creative Industries and its wide range of facilities. The centre is home to BBC Cymru in North East Wales.

Each year of the programme is designed to introduce new concepts, skills and theories and progression to the next level will leverage and develop core skills in a cumulative way.
