Studying Digital Music and Sound Arts engages students with practice-based research where practice drives theory and theory enhances practice. Through staff related research,  assessed critical writing and guest lectures the students become actively and critically engaged in ideas, concepts and artists relevant to their own interests and sensibilities. Many of our students become interested in pursuing further studies and research in their chosen field. DMSA Alumni are currently holding relevant academic and research positions in Academic Institutions in the UK and Europe. The course is strongly related to the Creative Sound and Music Research and Enteriprise Group of the School of Media and the students participate in student-staff collaborative research and community-facing work.
