Master of Science in Sound Design and Audiovisual Practice
Program Overview
- We are a leading research centre for Music in Scotland, with a supportive and welcoming community of scholars and practitioners. 95% of our research was rated as ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent' in the UK’s most recent Research Excellence Framework exercise (REF2021).
- You are supported in developing your own distinctive creative identity through experimentation and risk-taking in your sound and audiovisual work. Most courses are assessed through creative, practice-based projects.
- You will benefit from studying in the city of Glasgow, the UK’s first UNESCO city of music, with its vibrant and exciting music scene; this includes festivals such as Sonica, Counterflows, Radiophrenia and Tectonics as well as a host of grass-roots sonic activity. There is a wide range of venues providing programmes of creative sound work, including The Old Hairdressers, Tramway, Mono, SWG3, CCA and City Halls, all of which have hosted our students’ work. The presence of music-performing organisations such as the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, RSNO, Scottish Opera, and the Scottish Ensemble, as well as experimental music ensembles such as the Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra, provides a rich musical context for your studies.
- We work with the city’s cultural programme (Glasgow Life), and in collaboration with local arts houses and organisations such as Cryptic, to bring leading sonic artists to Glasgow, with associated workshops and collaborative opportunities for our students.
- Your work can be showcased in our annual postgraduate event Sound Thought, which takes place at the Centre for Contemporary Arts (CCA).
- Your work can also be showcased at the Glasgow Electronic and Audiovisual Media (GLEAM) Festival.
- You will have access to high-quality facilities, including a Mac-equipped audio lab and media lab; three studios, one of which features an ambisonic surround sound space; a Concert Hall with a Genelec and D&B sound diffusion system; as well as seminar and practice rooms.
- You will be supported by award-winning technical staff.
