Come and study in Glasgow, a UNESCO city of music and unlock your potential as a multi-faceted Sound and Music practitioner for film, animation, virtual reality, video games, and beyond. The MDes in Sound for the Moving Image offers you the chance to dive deep into the creative and technical aspects of sound production, exploring its powerful role in storytelling across a range of visual mediums.

Throughout this one year programme you will have the opportunity to produce original, concept-driven work - both individually or in collaborative teams - that will push your boundaries in sound design, music composition, and sonic exploration.

MDes Sound for the Moving Image is designed to be hands-on and flexible, combining taught workshops, lectures, and studio sessions with self-directed learning. You will create work that blends practical sound production with theoretical research, exploring the intricate relationship between sound and visuals.  

Together, our team fosters a culture of curiosity, experimentation, and critical reflection — supporting you to develop and refine your individual creative voice.
