what to expect during taster week
Join live webinars from different degrees
Throughout the week you'll be able to join live webinars on a wide range of topics - from music production to sound design. These are taken from our different degree courses. You can attend any webinar, whichever degree you're most interested in. You might be surprised at what you'll get a taste for!
Try COURSE ASSIGNMENTS
Before the week even begins you'll have access to an assignment for each of our master's programmes, along with supporting modules to help you with those assignments. If you want to have a go at an assignment, you can get feedback on your work in the group review session during the week - it's a first come first serve basis, but if you're not heard in the live session you will receive a video review offline by our tutors.
get feedback on your music / audio - or JUST learn from others
You can join review sessions to get constructive feedback and practical advice on your music or sound design - or just learn from the feedback offered to others. You can submit one of the assignments mentioned above, or any existing work in your portfolio.
