The Music Composition, Arranging, and Sound Design I specialisation is characterised by the concept of music — be it performance, composition, or musicology — as a research-led process that explores questions relevant to our understanding of what it means to be human and of who we are. Music Composition, Arranging, and Sound Design I further develops students’ skills, knowledge, creativity and experience in a contemporary context. Taught through studio practice, it leads to a series of works designed according to student needs. The student’s study will be complemented by an individual program which will require relevant written or other documentation as the object of assessment.
