-
make sound art
-
devise music theatre
-
use music technologies
-
create film music
-
evaluate music and sonic art.
The course is for composers, musicians, sound artists, sound and music practitioners from related fields including theatre, and theorists with interests in music and sound.
The Department of Music is a major international centre for the study of contemporary music, contemporary musical thinking and music theatre. You’ll have access to specialist facilities including: - the Music Department’s recordings and scores collections

the Music Mac Lab

three professionally equipped recording studios

From scientific discovery to global policy, from student welfare to career development, Sussex innovates and takes a lead. And today, in every part of society and across the world, you'll find someone from Sussex making an original and valuable contribution.

| pg.enquiries@sussex.ac.uk | |
| Telephone | 01273 876787 |
| Level | RQF Level 7 |
| Entry requirements | You should normally have an upper second-class (2.1) undergraduate honours degree or above. Your qualification should be in music, theatre, sonic arts or audio-visual media. You’ll also be considered for this course if you have relevant professional experience. Since much of the practical work on different modules involves your own creative and/or compositional engagement with the topics covered, you should include a short composition portfolio with your application. This is composition interpreted broadly (i.e. it does not have to be 'traditional' notated composition): it could be songs, tracks you have produced, movie soundtracks, performances of your own compositions, a score. etc. The portfolio should demonstrate your ability to create music, audio or other sonic media. You can submit in a variety of formats: links to tracks on Soundcloud, Youtube, MP3s, scores, etc. |
