- Some knowledge of electronics and acoustic equipment.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
What makes up a degree in sound design?
The degree is made up of three parts: taught classes, work-based learning, and a research project. All of these elements are designed to apply theory and advanced practice to enhance current approaches to sound design for linear and interactive media.
How does the MSc in sound design work?
The degree is made up of three parts: taught classes, work-based learning, and a research project. All of these elements are designed to apply theory and advanced practice to enhance current approaches to sound design for linear and interactive media. The MSc Sound Design is delivered over either 18 or 30 months on a part-time basis.
What should be considered in a sound design module?
Soundscapes, or the unique listening experience of a place, identity and memory are explored. Finally different approaches of Perceptual Audio Evaluation are considered, specifically: design, procedure and analysis. The work for this module comprises the completion of an individual research project.
What are the different approaches to sound design?
Finally approaches to implementing sound design are reviewed, which comprises: palette, mix, elements, parameters, memory/stream management, geometry, and environments. You will begin by considering different types of linear media: Theatre, Radio, Audio Books, Film and Television.
