These include four studio suites, a Dolby Atmos equipped dubbing theatre, music production Mac labs, VR facilities, and our flagship space, the 22.2 speaker immersive audio lab. Feel free to contact Course Leader Philip Reeder for more information.<br/><br/>**Study Style**<br/><br/>This is a highly practical course, and students attend workshops in our immersive audio lab, dubbing theatre, recording studios and production labs, where they are able to develop new skills and knowledge across the various subject areas. Students apply and refine their skill and understanding on a set of creative projects and carry out research into technological and commercial sectors, in order to align their work with the needs of the creative industries.<br/><br/>The final Sound and Music Production Project module, is an individual, supervisor-led project, where students apply their postgraduate knowledge and understanding and create a portfolio of projects that are aligned to their future professional and creative trajectories. Again, students make use of our industry standard facilities – and collaborate where appropriate with filmmakers, games designers, animators and other content producers – to create a body of work that will enable them to transition into professional practice and a sound and music production specialist.
