Music and Sound Production

Are you an aspiring musician, sound designer or composer looking to develop your production skills?

Our programme is designed to give you a unique chance to focus on the creative aspects and workflows of music and sound design for different types of media within the creative industries. You'll have the opportunity to explore music for film, television, games, theatre, and immersive and interactive media (VR/AR/XR), and gain skills that will guide you towards your ideal career path.

We understand that music and the arts are becoming less of a focus in schools, which is why our course embraces new and emerging technologies to give you specific software skills that will set you apart from other graduates. You'll also have the chance to collaborate with other disciplines within Ravensbourne and tackle how music and sound work within different media to communicate and support narratives.

You'll be introduced to essential music and sound theories and concepts, develop key digital audio workstation (DAW) skills, and familiarise yourself with the use of professional audio hardware, facilities and workflows. You'll further specialise in areas of your choice, such as music composition, sound postproduction, sound art, music mixing and mastering, and music and sound production for games and interactive media.

Collaboration is at the heart of the course. Students will undertake project briefs and have the opportunity to work in cross-university productions in collaboration with other departments and disciplines. Teaching staff and visiting professionals bring a strong industry perspective and will guide you throughout the course.
