token female Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Heyyy I am currently studying Production arts at Stratford - upon - avon college and am looking to studying sound further at uni. Southampton, Birmingham and Cardiff look good to do a BSc (hons) sound engineering but I wondered if anyone knew anywhere else that looked good? Or any performing arts schools that offer a sound course thats any good? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnymurray Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Is the Birmingham course the one at BCU - Sound Engineering & Production? It depends what you are looking for really, I started the course at BCU when it was a brand new course but after the first year decided it wasn't for me as I wasn't too interested in the studio side or video side!

J Pearce Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 If you're interested at looking at acoustics, the electronics of sound engineering and the perception of sound, then look at Derby University's Sound, Light and Live Event Technology course (BSc Hons). However, if you want to slide faders up and down, lift big heavy boxes and make very loud noises all day everyday then look elsewhere (probably an apprenticeship type scheme to be honest).

heinz57 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 If you're interested at looking at acoustics, the electronics of sound engineering and the perception of sound, then look at Derby University's Sound, Light and Live Event Technology course (BSc Hons). Agreed, I'd recomend the SLLET course at Derby. If you're realy interested in the sound sound of things then I'd recomend it, I'm currently on the course, its very interesting. It's alot more than just learning about pushing up faders on a mixer. To put things simply we're looking at what sound is, how the sound behaves and so on. It's well worth the money. http://www.derby.ac.uk/sound-light-and-liv...nology-bsc-hons I'd strongley recomend visiting one of the open days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomHoward Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 It's also worth mentioning Sound Technology at LIPA. Similar in-depth course content to Derby, but without the lighting element. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
