Overview

Combining a strong taught component with ample opportunities for practical work, you’ll extend your portfolio within an academic context, engage in theoretical and practical research, develop your creative and critical skills, and explore your personal areas of interest with this Sound Arts programme at University of the Arts London (UAL).

What to expect

You'll be encouraged to adopt a personal, distinctive approach to your work.

You'll be taught by staff who are active practitioners and researchers specialising in areas including field recording and acoustic ecology, composition, sound installations, improvisation, and a variety of cross-platform work.

You’ll have opportunities to collaborate with other students both inside and outside the College.

The Sound Arts department is committed to extending the boundaries of this evolving field while developing links with other disciplines and institutions.

The course is closely connected to the Creative Research into Sound Arts Practice (CRiSAP ) and further underpinned by wider disciplinary contexts across LCC’s Screen School and UAL.

Careers

During the course you will have the opportunity to develop both your research profile and creative practice. Upon graduation there are a number of options. You may wish to apply for a research degree, or you might decide to work in the theatre, films, television, animation, games production or websites.

Some of the students work as freelance sound artists or musicians in a chosen area which could include performance, composition, sound art installation or curation. Others set up their own businesses.
