Students have the opportunity to specialise in areas such as live sound engineering, post-production for film and TV, and music business. This allows them to tailor their education to their specific interests and career goals. Coursework is hands-on, with students completing practical assessments that involves recording and producing music, creating soundtracks and operating recording equipment in real-world scenarios.
Four out of the five units you study will be assessed through a portfolio of projects designed to reflect the kinds of things professional sound engineers do. The fifth unit is assessed through a 15-hour exam, where you will demonstrate the technical skill you have developed over the two years.
