Master in Audio Production MA

Tuition fees are 21,839 USD per year.

Audio production explores how sound can be shaped, organised and integrated across music, film, broadcast, games and immersive media. It asks how creative ideas translate into audible experiences, how technologies such as surround, Dolby Atmos and interactive audio can be employed, and how producers balance artistic intent with technical standards.

Graduates move into roles such as sound designer, music producer, broadcast director, studio technical manager or freelance audio producer, finding employment with organisations like the BBC, Apple, Sony, Pinewood Studios and many independent studios. The MA also prepares students for further research or teaching positions in higher education.

The programme runs for one year on the Harrow campus, giving access to fourteen professional studios, a Dolby Atmos suite and a range of post-production facilities, and is accredited by JAMES, the industry consortium that recognises the programme’s professional standards.
