This course will develop your skills in both advanced audio and software development, for both technical and artistic careers across audio-related industry sectors (software, professional audio, music, media).

Even if you have no previous coding experience, you will develop the foundation for audio software development (audio concepts & practices, computational thinking, coding knowledge), advanced programming and DSP skills and knowledge of professional skills and industry contexts. This course will enhance your creativity in both audio and technology and is suitable for both aspiring software developers and creative professionals alike.

Throughout the programme, you will have multiple opportunities for technical and creative collaboration with your peers, and work towards building an exciting portfolio to propel you into one of the most exciting and innovative areas of the music industry, the design and development of audio software.
