The Music & Sound Design for Visual Media BA is a hands-on, interdisciplinary course for creatives who want to shape stories through sound. This course gives dedicated makers the tools, techniques and space to explore ideas in depth, focusing on areas such as composition for film, designing sound for games, scoring installations and experimenting with new media.
