课程特征 Course Features：
This programme explores developments in music and sound practices through creative and critical routes. You will engage with the practice and theory of music and creative sound work, placing contemporary artistic practices in new music and sonic art in a wider cultural context.
You will follow an integrated set of courses examining the borders between musical composition, composing film music, sonic art, performance, and sound and musical installations.
Theory and practice in combination are vital because they enable us to form connections between the diversity of current practices including composition, site-specific and networked sonic events, composing for new media and film, and live performances of all kinds. Creative work is stimulated by workshops by visiting professional musicians as well as showcase events organised by students themselves with the support of the Music Department.
