BA (Hons) Music and Sound Design

Music and Sound Design plays a key part in how we experience the world around us.

During the course, you will learn how music and sound design is produced and embedded in the creative industries. You will explore how analog and digital technologies have shaped sounds both in terms of the aesthetics and the practices of musicians and sound designers. You will learn as part of a broader creative school and be encouraged to explore collaborations across other creative courses, such as film and game design.

On completing the course, you will have gained skills in sound design, electronic music production, and critical thinking, which will enable you to forge a career in the creative industries.

Students on the course take part in extra-curricular live music events, festivals and symposiums. We have staged concerts to showcase work in London, Berlin and on Twitch. Check out the latest from South Bank Sound Lab and alumni from the course.

Music and Sound Design gave me the skills and knowledge to expand my skillset and pursue any career aspirations. Before studying at LSBU, I had never attempted any form of computer programming and was actively intimidated by the thought, but now it has taken a central role in my creative and technological practices. This would not have been possible without the support and encouragement of my tutors, who were always pushing me towards these new skills and knowledge.
