Music Technology
|
Music Technology is rooted within all aspects of music research. At Sheffield and we have a solid reputation for computer music composition and computer music programming. The University of Sheffield Sound Studios (USSS) facilitates research and teaching with three full-time staff managing the studios, developing new software tools and creating new sonic art. We are well known for our use of open source software and our 'toolkits'. Tools made by staff are shared with students for their own creative work. In learning how to use a number of tools, students pick up new terminology and techniques and begin to learn to programme computers. Armed with these skills, students find themselves returning to the computer to create their own software solutions. |

At undergraduate level it is possible, after Level 1 to create a 'pathway' in music technology that equates to 50% of your remaining two years. At postgraduate level we offer an innovative Masters programme in Sonic Arts and opportunities to develop your research to PhD level. See the links in the panel on the left, make contact and apply online.
