Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Sound Design (5G7B)

Program Description

If students have a passion for sound, and would like to learn how to design it so that it is seamlessly integrated into media, products or environments, then this degree will help them develop an in-depth understanding and the practical skills needed to design and evaluate effective sound for listeners.

This course will teach students the techniques to create new sounds that coexist with dialogue and music to support a wide variety of media and applications. The underlying principles of linear and interactive media are also addressed, as well as products and environments to maximise potential employment.

Throughout their studies students can specialise in their chosen discipline, and then work towards creating an appropriate portfolio, whilst gaining valuable contacts who could help them during their transition from study to a professional career.

A mix of assignments and projects will give students the chance to collaborate with students on Acting, Digital Media, Film, Games Development and Television degrees.

Studying sound design will open up career opportunities in a diverse range of fields such as animation, audio books, augmented/mixed reality, computing, environments, food, film, radio, robotics, television, theatre, vehicles, video games and virtual reality.

ENU also has an extensive range of online guest lectures from internationally recognised Sound Designers.
