Course details
In recognition of a shared interest in Information Technology and a growing awareness of its relevance for music, the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering and the Department of Music initiated a Masters Programme in Music and Media Technologies in Trinity .
A particular feature of this programme is a balanced approach to musical and technological topics. Musically, a strong emphasis is placed on the development of adaptable compositional skills, while technological topics are addressed from both a hands-on workstation/studio exposure and a fundamental mathematical and scientific basis, which focuses on musically relevant issues.
The first and second semesters comprise a self-contained Postgraduate Diploma course which provides the necessary musical and technological skills to allow creative individuals to engage in computer-assisted composition and production, apply software tools for the music and New Media industries and/or enter the arena of 'music-on-screen' production for New Media products.
Continuing on to do a thesis towards an M.Phil. degree is an option, which is open to those achieving a sufficient standard in their end of semester exams. The project can be of a musical or technological nature.
The MMT programme covers a wide range of subjects within the general field of music technology, and provides students with a fully professional qualification. The work is intensive and these programmes cannot be undertaken time.
This course has been co-funded under the National Development Plan (Graduate Skills Conversion Programme) for EU fee paying students.
