Listening, programming and experimenting
について academic programme covers audio signal processing, machine learning, music perception and computational approaches to music. A 20-credit thesis gives you a sustained project alongside 40 credits of taught study.
You might be interested in how software identifies a musical pattern, transforms a sound or supports a new instrument. These are examples of the kinds of questions that can help you decide whether the course’s technical focus matches your curiosity.
What background helps?
The programme’s よくあるご質問 describes a strong fit for applicants with computing knowledge and a musical interest, while welcoming other backgrounds with relevant preparation. Mathematics, programming, signal processing and machine learning are useful areas to review.
について formal application requirements include a qualifying degree, transcript, English CV and motivation letter, an academic recommendation and B2 English. Depending on your preparation, additional study may extend the course; ask the academic team how this would affect your timetable and budget.
