COURSE CURRICULUM

The Audio Software Engineering degree provides a comprehensive program that develops both technical expertise and creative skills for working with audio technologies in diverse industries. In the first year, students gain foundational knowledge through modules such as Theory of Sound, Engineering Software, Production and Critical Listening, Quantitative Tools for Audio, Algorithms and Data Types, and Data Communications, establishing the mathematical, computational, and auditory skills necessary for audio software applications. The second year focuses on more specialised areas, including Sound Design and Synthesis, Embedded Systems for Audio Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Mobile Web App Development, Games, Simulations and Virtual Worlds, and Mathematics for Audio and Signal Processing, combining technical proficiency with creative applications in interactive media and audio technology. In the final year, students refine their skills and apply their knowledge in professional contexts through modules such as Audio Digital Signal Processing, Artificial Intelligence for Audio, Audio Programming for Games, Industry Practice, and the Audio Software Project, which offers hands-on experience developing industry-relevant solutions. Across the course, students learn to design, implement, and optimise audio software, applying theory to practical and creative projects. Graduates emerge with a versatile skill set, including programming, signal processing, software development, and creative audio design, preparing them for careers in audio technology, software engineering, game audio, and other technology-driven sectors.
