MA SOUND AND MUSIC FOR THEATRE

You will develop advanced skills in sound design and production,
music performance, composition and production, placing emphasis on the particular context of your work (e.g. media, games, theatre).

You will develop skills in working with technology as a collaborator, innovating process and practices to support you creative project work.

A key feature of the course is our expertise in Interdisciplinary learning, through which we will support you to make interdisciplinary intersections – connections between disciplines to establish modes and models of collaborative creative practice derived from industry, as well as innovating through experimentation to develop hybrid approaches.

You will be guided in the design and implementation of creative projects, involving modules for the arts, design thinking, and innovation practice. This will form the foundation for your practice-led final project, together with the deepening of the scope and effectiveness of your research skills, leading to the completion of the MA course.

A further year of practice-led research embedded in a professional context relative to your specialism, will culminate in a significant body of applied reflective praxis (Meta-Praxis) and research (Research Praxis), in which original ideas and concepts have derived and cultivated, capturing both planned and emergent methodologies and impact.

You are likely to have professional industrial experience and/or have joined the course as a graduate within the specialist areas of Music Performance, Music Technology and Production, Sound and Music for Media, Games or Theatre. This will inform your path of study and practice.

A significant feature of the course is to establish creative and collaborative interdisciplinary projects applied in professional industrial contexts, which may include your current place of work.

This mode of embedded study will significantly increase your opportunity to operate and work in a wide range of roles across the music, media, theatre, games and multi-media industries.
