What do our graduates say?
“The best three years of my life”
While giving you a deep understanding of the workings of the industry from business to creativity, it also allows an individual to pursue their specific interests in detail. Thank you for giving me the best three years of my life.
Neil Martin, graduate and Broadcast Engineer at Abbey Road Live
“For me, this course was perfect”
There’s very little that I learned during my three years at Bath Spa that I haven’t used and built upon on a daily basis in my professional career. Game Audio requires a very multi-disciplinary skill set touching on all aspects of music, sound and media production, so for me, this course was perfect.
Jethro Dunn, graduate and Audio Director at Firesprite (Playstation Studios)
