Overview

Sound Engineering MA sits in a competitive part of the UK market, which works in your favour once you know which departments to aim at. It is a 1 year postgraduate programme, so the pace is quick and the dissertation carries real weight.

Teaching in Sound Engineering mixes production work with the theory behind how audiences behave. We currently work with 25 universities on this course across 19 cities.

The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.0, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition ranges from £17.000 to £35.500 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.

Send us your transcript and we will tell you honestly which of these you are a realistic candidate for, and which are worth an application anyway.
