Why The Sound of Innovation?

The master’s programme The Sound of Innovation is all about discovery. You develop innovative projects and concepts that are rooted in music, but can reach as far as your imagination allows. You expand your professional practice with music and other sound-based creations that cross sector boundaries and challenge existing conventions.

Please note: This programme is being discontinued. From the 2025–2026 academic year onwards, no new students will be admitted.
