Location of University of Bristol
This programme provides professional training in the practice and ideas of composing for screen media. Core teaching covers the technological bases, along with academic and critical perspectives, taught by in-house experts, and units in television and film scoring taught by guest composers active in the professional world. A range of options allow you to build your technical strengths according to need, and follow your interests in the practices of film-making, or in research skills as the foundation for further study.
The MA is taught within our high-specification composition and recording studios, which have full-time technical support. Students are actively encouraged in building opportunities and networks, within and beyond the University, for projects in film, animation, documentary and more. The vibrant musical life of the Music Department provides opportunities for student and professional performance, and we are located at the heart of one of the UK's leading cities for broadcast, commercial and creative screen media.
