Get a head start in your sound engineering career with this multifaceted course, which combines vocational study and academic theory.

In the first year, you will cover the fundamentals of sound, audio electronics, programming, recording and production, critical listening along with the mathematics that underpins all these subjects.

In the second year, we want you to dig deep into wider applications of sound engineering in different domains, immersing yourself in the tools and techniques that add depth and variety to your engineer's toolbox. We also want to see your personal vision and persona develop, to the point where you are happy to take on work outside of the university.

By the third year, you will have a huge array of marketable skills under your belt and in this final year you will learn to apply them in a range of environments. You will also prepare a major project of your own choosing, which will present your talent to the world.

On our Theatre and Performance Practice MA degree course, you will explore your practice both as an actor/creator and theatre practitioner. You will investigate and develop your skills and knowledge of theatre languages, including text, music, space, or physicality. You will observe creative processes, acting, and embodiment from varying viewpoints, including:

• Creation of original work using a variety of theatre languages
• Adaptation of existing material with dramatic potential
• Differing approaches to characterisation within broader socio-political, cultural, and geographical contexts.
