AUDIO ENGINEERING AND PRODUCTION DEGREE BSc (HONS)
The UK is a world leader when it comes to media. Whether it’s music, film, television or games, our presence is felt at the highest level and on a global scale. For each of these industries, audio is the common link, the one thing they all need.

With a strong emphasis on high standards of practical work, well-developed written and verbal communication, this course provides the right vocational-academic blend for industry or postgraduate study.
