My module "Listening" is about listeners' experiences of sound designs, and is taught from a scientific perspective. We also have modules such as Sound Design for Linear Media" which is taught from a creative perspective. | |

The idea being to provide students with more "transferable skills". (I don't actually teach on this course, but the MSc.) I know in the past they have offered students the opportunity to collaborate, but you might want to talk directly to the course leader for the MA Media Production Framework. | |
| Jul 18, 2013 at 0:59 | comment | added | KB19 | @Bit Depth thank you for the information you've given me, my BSc was enough to give me info on the "HOW" aspect of sound / video / web. I feel that an MA's "WHY" approach will be more suitable for what I want to pursue next. I've asked York's course leader about whether there is opportunity to collaborate and it seems a no-go. No animation / games course running at all but they shall be offering a BSc in this area starting 2014. How flexible is the MA at Bournemouth? I know Kenny Young is an alumni of your old Sound Design MA IIRC. How much of the old course is in the current MA? Thanks :) | |
| Jul 17, 2013 at 14:47 | comment | added | Internet Human | @Bit Depth your distinction between the MSc and MA seems dubious (syntatically correct, but dubious in content and reasoning), unless it can be verified by the one who's declared the designation. In the general sense sound production has nothing to do with science or the scientific method and thus the above distinction between a MA or a MSc and the given reasoning (HOW and WHY or whatever) is strongly questionable. | |
| Jul 17, 2013 at 9:24 | comment | added | Bit Depth | @Mark Durham makes an important point.....tailor the projects you work on for the output you are trying to achieve. We have a lot of other courses in associated areas (Games, Digital Media, Film, TV) and we always encourage our students to collaborate with students in other disciplines. Do check out what other courses each university offer. | |
