How to enrol

This module covers sound and music with a focus on its contexts in biology, physics, maths, engineering and technology. This interdisciplinary module shows how music and science are connected on a fundamental level.

The Sound Technology module also offers you the opportunity to create electronic music using state-of-the-art equipment. The practical aspects of the module are embedded in a theoretical and analytical framework which encourages the critical evaluation of contemporary music.

Sound technology bridges artistic practice and cutting-edge technology, providing a platform where you can discover, develop and explore scholarship in the field as well as being creative, both individually and as part of a group.
