BA (Hons) SOUND AND MUSIC FOR MEDIA (WITH FOUNDATION YEAR)

We’re offering you a unique opportunity to develop and apply specialist skills in collaborative industry-focused projects.

You will develop a range of practical skills and techniques, and collaboration skills, while developing an understanding of the professional, cultural, social, and technological contexts of your practice.

If you join in the foundation year, you will have the opportunity to transform and develop your existing experience and skills in creative practice and establish key academic skills to prepare you for undergraduate study.

The first year of undergraduate study develops core technical and creative skills in key areas of disciplinary practice and collaboration. You will participate in industry-modelled projects in collaboration with students from other related disciplines.

In the second year you will experiment further, explore different approaches to individual and collaborative practice, engaging with external practitioners and organisations, and developing employability skills as part of a Professional Life module.

In the third year of study you will become more focused on the development of your own specialist ideas, practice and research, individually and in collaboration with others, internal and external to the University.

You will graduate with a rich and dynamic digital portfolio to present to industry professionals and future employers.

Sound and Music programmes at the University of East London develop an existing base of core skills in sound and music creation and production and apply these to specific industrial contexts in collaborative projects that simulate professional practice, and which integrate with the media industry in live projects.

The BA Sound and Music for Media programme will develop a core set of skills in Music Composition and Production, Sound Design, and Studio Recording and Production, and will also develop transferrable skills (linked to UEL Core Competencies and the Career Passport) for the creative industries.

Students will be able to collaborate and participate in a range of projects, resulting in a portfolio of project work that represents a broad range of skills and experience, with depth of both disciplinary and interdisciplinary skills.

This approach anticipates a diverse world of work, building skills in learners to create coherence and impact that is transferrable across multiple contexts.
