About Postgraduate Sound Engineering

Sound engineering is a multidisciplinary, industry-focused subject that allows students to explore both the technological and artistic elements that underpin good audio. Whether it’s live music, in a studio recording or classical environment, sound engineers are essential professionals who ensure that sounds are accurately outputted or recorded.

Postgraduate students in sound engineering will develop technical expertise across a range of software products and physical audio technology, as well as gain advanced theoretical knowledge of sound which has applications in a range of commercial fields.

There are over 25 postgraduate design courses at more than 20 universities across the UK.

What to expect

Entry requirements vary depending on the course and university, but you’ll usually need a bachelor’s degree. Sometimes this can be in any subjects, other courses stipulate it must be in a relevant field such as music technology, audio production, sound art, film, video or fine art.

Modules that might be covered include studio engineering, mixing mastering immersive audio, game audio and post production. Emphasis is also given to the latest technologies used in the industry.

A postgraduate qualification will help graduates to pursue different roles including an audio engineer, broadcast engineer, live sound engineer, mastering engineer or lecturer.
