This degree programme is for graduates of architecture or related disciplines who wish to extend their design abilities, and investigate the craft and theory of spatial design in which sound has an important and formative role. The programme is for professionals who seek an architecture sensitive to sound, and who are able to work in teams, advising on the sonic possibilities of spaces, and the spatial characteristics of sounds.

Sound environment specialists will be in a position to consult with architectural and engineering acousticians on the creative uses of sound and space, work with programmers, artists and audio technicians, and design art intallations, exhibitions and displays that explore the relationships between sound and space. Such professionals will be skilled in a wide range of digital media appropriate to the simulation and design of sound environments.
