Explore the boundaries of creativity & innovation
One of the key aspects of the MA Innovation in Sound master’s degree is providing a framework for students to explore the boundaries of their creativity and produce innovative work that can shape the future of the music industry.
Rather than teaching you what to do and how to think, MA Innovation in Sound encourages you to think outside the box and see the concept of innovation as a tool that can be applied across all creative disciplines.
During your master’s, you will go through an exploratory process where you will discover theoretical concepts around innovation, develop your technical and creative practice and realise the completion of a project within your chosen area of innovation.
