Overview

ReSound brings together three leading institutions within the FilmEU European University alliance: the Institute of Art, Design and Technology (IADT) in Ireland, and Universidade Lusófona (UL) in Portugal and the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre (LMTA). Through Erasmus+ mobility, students experience a truly European education, studying across Northern, Western, and Southern Europe while gaining access to an extensive network of trans-European partners. This diversity broadens perspectives, fosters cross-cultural collaboration, and opens doors to international opportunities.

ReSound is shaped by the needs of today’s creative industries and the emerging paradigms of tomorrow. Our programme prepares specialists in sound design, production, composition and execution across media arts—including film, television, gaming, immersive media, and virtual environments. Graduates leave not only as industry-ready professionals but as advocates for the thoughtful integration of sound in society, reshaping how we “hear” the world around us.

ReSound equips graduates with the expertise to navigate diverse industries, from cinema to immersive media, video games to events, offering boundless career opportunities.
