This degree is intended for students who wish to pursue a degree course in Electronics whilst maintaining an interest in Music. About one third of the curriculum is given by the Department of Music and will include the history and repertoire of music, music and technology , studio techniques and modern computer-based methods of audio signal synthesis, processing and control. The electronics part of the course provides a solid background in electronic and electrical engineering, including circuit theory, digital and analogue electronics, acoustics, communications and signal processing together with computing and mathematics. The aim of this degree programme is to prepare students for professional practice and management in music and audio technology engineering, and the design and operation of systems (both hardware and software) related to the recording, production and processing of audio/musical signals. There is also the opportunity to investigate specialist topics, see the Music Department website for further details about the music component of the course. The degree also provides expertise in professional aspects including studio management skills.

* Note that not all the courses shown in these lists will necessarily be available in each year; the choice of a curriculum will be subject to this limitation and also to that imposed by timetable constraints. The University Calendar provides the definitive description of courses and course options.
