COURSE CURRICULUM

The MA in Audio and Podcasting offers a comprehensive curriculum that blends creative storytelling, technical production, and professional development. Students begin by exploring storytelling and worldbuilding to understand how compelling narratives are created and adapted for audio formats. They also study creative practice and artificial intelligence, gaining insight into how emerging technologies influence content creation, alongside business skills that prepare them for careers in the creative industries. The program includes core modules such as podcasting and audio storytelling, post-production mixing and sound design, and strategic distribution and marketing, equipping students with the skills needed to produce, refine, and promote audio content effectively. Optional modules like sound recording for media and ProTools fundamentals allow students to customise their learning based on their interests and technical needs, while work experience opportunities provide valuable industry exposure and practical application of skills. A strong emphasis is placed on both creativity and audience engagement, ensuring students can design content that stands out across platforms. The program culminates in a major project, where students create a substantial piece of work that demonstrates their technical, creative, and strategic abilities, preparing them for professional roles in podcasting and audio media.
