Our BSc (hons) Music Technology strikes a balance between the technical and the creative aspects of music technology. You develop your technical skills in sound recording, audio processing, editing and mixing, while also gaining important knowledge of the underlying scientific principles. Your creative side is encouraged through musical tasks such as composition, arrangement and remixing.
You explore recent advances in music production, sound processing and synthesis, and examine contemporary innovations in digital technologies, computer games and interactive media. Some knowledge of music notation is a requirement for this degree, as you will write and arrange your own original music.
Our specialist studio facilities are kept up to date with the latest software and hardware, allowing you to produce music content to industry standards. We regularly welcome leading industry experts who deliver special lectures and run workshops for our students.
If you would prefer to study sound design and audio programming in more detail as part of your degree at the University of Kent, we recommend you consider our BSc (hons) Audio Design and Production.
