With the next generation of games consoles upon us, the demand for 'Hollywood' quality soundtracks to match the increasingly impressive visuals in games has never been greater. If students are a sound designer or composer, this course gives them the opportunity to explore the issues and opportunities that interactivity presents.
This course has been designed by a teaching team who have professional experience and links to the games industry, ensuring the latest developments in games audio are reflected in their study. They will gain up-to-date skills in sound design and interactive composition, and explore the importance of music and sound in other media.
They will have access to a suite of high-quality professional music studios, and they will develop their expertise using real-world game engines, middleware and prototyping tools to implement sound and music into games.
LBU's close links with local and national music, arts and festival organisations provide them with opportunities to test their knowledge and skills in a variety of practical settings.
