    Postgraduate

  • Location

    London

Overview
Key themes: music cognition, recording and mixing, music production, audio processing, digital effects, machine listening, interactive sound and music systems, music information retrieval, new instrument design, musical expression
The MSc in Sound and Music Computing responds to a growing skills shortage in industry for engineers and computer scientists trained specifically in sound and music processing, as digital media become ever more advanced and ubiquitous.
Developed by the acclaimed Centre for Digital Music (C4DM), this programme offers you a broad range of study options in methods of processing, analysis, synthesis and manipulation of musical signals. You will develop the knowledge and skills required for careers in the technical aspects of audio production, sound engineering, broadcasting, intelligent signal processing, computational music analysis, music information retrieval and other areas of sound and music computing. You will acquire an in-depth understanding of data analysis and signal processing techniques related to human speech and hearing, psychoacoustics and masking, and instrument and room acoustics.
The MSc is intended for graduates in a related discipline, who wish to hone and enhance their skills, and for industrialists with experience of sound and music computing, seeking formal qualifications. The taught modules are fully supported with computing and laboratory work.
You will graduate with an understanding of how today's audio and music technology works, possessing the potential to become a pioneer in developing future generations of leading edge music technologies.
This programme will:
Allow you to shape your own programme, by selecting two optional modules per semester to complement the core modules in Sound and Music Computing.
Give you and understanding of how today’s music and audio technology works, but also help you to become a leader in developing the next generation of sound and music computing technology....

Course programme

Structure

The MSc in Sound and Music Computing is currently available for one year full-time study.

Full-time

Undertaking a masters programme is a serious commitment, with weekly contact hours being in addition to numerous hours of independent learning and research needed to progress at the required level. When coursework or examination deadlines are approaching independent learning hours may need to increase significantly.

The modules listed below provide some general guidance on what you may be expected to learn during each semester and year of this degree. The exact modules available may vary depending on staff availability, research interests, new topics of study, timetabling and student demand.

Semester 1

  • Fundamentals of DSP (required if equivalent background is missing)
  • Music Perception and Cognition

Plus maximum one of:

  • Sound Recording and Production Techniques
  • Interactive Digital Multimedia Techniques

Plus further option(s) from:

  • Machine Learning (highly recommended)
  • Big Data Processing

Semester 2

At least two from:

  • Digital Audio Effects
  • Music Analysis & Synthesis
  • Real-Time DSP
  • Music & Speech Modelling

Plus further option(s) from:

  • Interactive System Design
  • The Semantic Web

Semester 3
(must take and pass)

  • Project

Year 2

  • Industrial Placement Project

Please note that elective modules are subject to availability, timetabling constraints and may be subject to change.

We aim to deliver your programme so that it closely matches the way in which it has been described to you by QMUL in print, online, and/or in person. Please be assured that we review our modules on a regular basis, in order to continue to offer innovative and exciting programmes.
