Master of Arts in Sound (Design)

Program Overview

Develop a range of sound design skills, industry-standard experience, and a high-quality portfolio that showcases everything you’ve learned on our MA Sound (Design).

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.

Gain a mix of advanced technical skills relating to sound design and advanced audio workflows for film and other visual media, game audio, theatre sound and audio installations.

Learn about contemporary sound design practice to push the boundaries of the field.

We support your continued professional development by working with you to improve both your practical and your academic skills.

Subject areas include:

  • Sound sculpting, processing and synthesis
  • The language and aesthetics of sound design
  • Storytelling and dramaturgy
  • Immersive audio.

You can practise a wide range of audio skills including:

  • Sound editing / track-laying
  • Dialogue editing
  • Foley and field recording
  • Advanced audio workflows for:
  • film and TV
  • animation
  • gaming
  • sound and audiovisual installations
  • theatre sound
  • Dubbing mixing / multi channel speaker arrays

You won’t be expected to cover all of these areas. You’ll be able to use this sound design Master’s degree to develop an individually-tailored portfolio of skills, experience and high-quality work across them. The course also provides the breadth necessary, where required, to prepare you for PhD research and beyond.

You’ll join a community of students and staff working across a suite of Sound courses, including related pathways in Sound (Production) and Sound (Composition and Sonic Art)
