Course Description

Explore the creative use of sound within film, TV, animation, gaming, theatre and other audiovisual media with this forward-thinking sound design course. The course focuses on the more creative aspects of sound design and advanced audio workflows. It provides you with the necessary technical skills to create work that you’re passionate about – without stylistic boundaries.

You’ll join a vibrant and immersive community of creative artists designing sound and music. Creative practice thrives at Bath Spa in many forms, allowing you to learn through joint projects and seminar discussion with other creative artists such as filmmakers, animators, game developers, theatre practitioners, and musicians.

However, we accept applicants with other degrees where they can demonstrate relevant experience. We make offers based on your previous experience, which may be conditional on completing current courses, or unconditional.
