What we look for in potential students
 

• We’re looking for individuals with a proven track record in creative sound/music practice.
• Generally we look for a first degree, 2:1 or higher. Often this will be in Music or Music technology. However, we accept applicants with other degrees where they can demonstrate relevant experience.

Interview and portfolio guidance
 

• Your application should be accompanied by a portfolio of creative work. The nature of this portfolio will depend on your area of work. We don’t need much – two or three pieces will suffice, which might be music tracks, multimedia, documentation of performances/installations, or similar.
• Above all, we’ll be looking for the creative use of sound in your work.
