Overview
Sound is an area of growing social, cultural and environmental importance - yet it is often overlooked and underappreciated in our overwhelmingly visual, screen-based society. It has great emotional power for communication through storytelling, music, and more subtle and evocative forms.
The Sound master's programme at The University of Wales Trinity Saint David offers a unique postgraduate experience. Graduates and professionals from a wide range of specialities benefit from multidisciplinary learning together with expert lecturers and a broad range of facilities.
