Course title: BSc Audio and Music Technology
Type (UG Degree, PG Degree etc): UG
Contact: answers(at)anglia.ac.uk
Brief Description: Audio and Music Technology courses are based around a common pool of modules. Students explore the principles and practice of today's analogue and digital electronic systems and software in the context of Audio and Music Technology. This is developed by investigating the recording and reproduction of sound, together with waves and acoustics. Complementary modules build on the themes of sound synthesis, sequencing, studio practice, electronics, microprocessors, computer control and signal processing as applied to Music Technology systems. Optional modules allow students to tailor their course to specialise their skills in either music production, sound engineering or audio computing, or indeed a mixture of all elements.
