Hide-What is this course about?
This one-year add-on will continue to develop students theoretical and practical knowledge gained from the H.C in Engineering with Music & Instrument Technology, Level 6, or from another similar programme. These continuing studies will provide more opportunities for students to develop and exhibit the knowledge, skills and competencies to become highly skilled in the area of Music and Sound Engineering in respect to the professional creative industries.
Why take this course?
As a M.A.S.E student, you will be involved in a wide range of industry-specific assignments and practical work across this add-on which encompasses sound engineering, acoustic technology, and other creative professional development studies that are necessities for working in the creative industry.
This diversity aims to give graduates of the programme a range of real skills and the flexibility required to work within a highly competitive creative industry, and on completion of the course, you will have assembled an impressive portfolio of industry-related work to take forward into your career, or on to further studies in the area. There is a Level 8 add-on available to M.A.S.E students.
Being a musician is not a programme pre-requisite, so M.A.S.E is suitable for all candidates.
M.A.S.E students have unrivalled access to industry standard equipment and software in state-of-the-art facilities based in one of Ireland’s most prestigious Technological Universities, right in the heart of Ireland.
