Music and Technology with German BA (Hons)

For the Music and Technology component, year one focuses on the fundamentals of acoustics, sound recording, and music production. Youll work in hybrid studios using large-format analogue consoles and explore industry-leading Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) through a variety of hands-on production projects. years two and three offer more flexibility, allowing you to specialise in other fields including live sound, electronic music, Max/MSP, audiovisual composition, and sound design, while building further on your sound recording and music production skills.<br/><br/>Our Minor in German (25% of your degree) enables you to attain a proficient level by progressing through structured and immersive language training. You will take German language from beginners or advanced level, developing advanced skills in writing, reading, speaking and listening, as well as an awareness of regional linguistic variations and the societies and cultures of German-speaking countries. An optional Year Abroad is spent in a German-speaking country as a student at a university, an assistant in a school, or on a work placement. If you combine German with another language, you will split the year between two countries.<br/><br/>This programme is available with a Year in Industry, which will be spent on paid placement within an organisation in industry, broadly defined. You will be supported by the School of the Arts and the Department throughout, and your reflexive written account of the experience will contribute towards your final degree result. Please note it is not possible to study both a Year in Industry and a Year Abroad on this programme.<br/><br/>Most Combined Degrees allow you to adapt the weighting of each by 25% after the first year, helping you to keep your options open. Please note, however, students studying either a Business or Economics pathway in combination with another subject cannot increase from 25% to 50% or from 50% to 75% and it is not possible to transfer from a 50% to 75% Law.
