If youre returning to education, or didnt study Maths at A level, our foundation year will give you the Maths and physics knowledge you need to progress on to our BEng Music Technology Systems course.<br/><br/>Youll spend your first year learning maths and physics content to A level standard, and youll begin to develop your practical skills in the electronics lab. If you successfully complete the foundation year youll automatically continue onto the first year of our degree in Music Technology Systems. Youll explore topics including synthesiser technology, MIDI, sampling and audio signal processing, and learn how this technology is applied in recording studios and field recording projects. Youll use your expertise to create innovative and optimised designs, addressing real-world problems. With individual and group projects at every stage of the degree to develop practical, organisational, management and business skills, youll graduate with the abilities and approaches you will need to operate with confidence – as a researcher, expert designer or technical manager - in this exciting field. You can instead choose to transfer onto any of our other BEng courses within the department. In addition, if you achieve a high score in the Foundation Year exams you will have the opportunity to transfer onto one of our MEng courses. All of our courses are available with a year in industry, which gives you the opportunity to gain vital experience in the workplace and find out more about your career options. The year in industry is generally taken in the year prior to your final year of study. The School will help you to find a suitable placement. You will be fully supported by an academic member of staff who will visit you in the workplace and meet you regularly to discuss your placement work.
