COURSE CURRICULUM

The MSc in Digital Audio Engineering is structured to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of both the theoretical and practical aspects of digital audio technology. The compulsory modules ensure a solid foundation in essential areas, starting with Mathematics of Signal Processing, which equips students with the mathematical tools necessary for analysing and manipulating audio signals. Digital Signal Processing for Audio Applications builds on this foundation, teaching techniques for processing, transforming, and enhancing audio in a variety of contexts. Audio Programming One and Two develop practical coding skills for creating and implementing audio applications, enabling students to design custom solutions for digital audio challenges. Emerging Audio Technologies introduces students to the latest innovations and trends in audio engineering, including 3D audio, immersive sound, and advanced production techniques, ensuring they stay current with industry developments. Engineering Research Methods provides the skills required to conduct rigorous, evidence-based research, supporting critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. The Audio Engineering Dissertation serves as a capstone project, allowing students to apply their technical knowledge, programming expertise, and research skills to a substantial independent project, demonstrating both innovation and analytical ability. Together, these modules equip graduates with the technical proficiency, creative problem-solving skills, and research experience needed to succeed in professional roles across audio engineering, media production, gaming, and related digital industries.
