BSc (Hons) Audio and Music Production Bachelor's degree at Liverpool John Moores University

This module introduces students to the practical issues arising from recording audio in controlled studio environments. The module encompasses an introduction to the theoretical knowledge and practical skills of audio and music production and to the equipment used in audio production. The module will cover 'recorded' production and students will be required to work both individually (assessed) and in small groups (formal) using equipment to become familiar with its characteristics in a way that

This module aims to introduce students to professional technical and craft practices as used in general media production including: equipment competence, managing and organising tasks, people and resources; working to specifications; and applying safe and reliable systems of work. On completing the module you should be able to operate industry-standard hardware to professional standards and have media understanding in audio, still images and video formats, with particular emphasis on being able

The module equips students with the ability to use their understanding of microphone and equipment characteristics to make more informed decisions in studio recording environments. It also introduces the typical voltage levels generated by audio technology in studios and explains how these can be used to determine expected signal amplitudes. In addition, the module covers the fundamental principles of audio signal quality, particularly in the conversion from analogue to digital, and examines the

To introduce the principles of sound systems and sound waves, which can be applied to a wide range of acoustics and audio subjects. This module presents the fundamentals and principles of acoustics and audio systems.

This module lays the foundations to develop your ability to produce work at the technical standard required for acceptance by hosting and streaming platforms including clip creation, editing of live-captured content, electronically-generated content, levels, post-production editing, mastering and encoding for delivery. You will also learn more widely about the history and context of podcasts as well as the importance of good ideas, targeting the right audience, scripts, studio management, interv

The module aims to enhance students' knowledge of the equipment used in a Recording Studio and hence address the practical issues arising from recording using a control surface. Students will gain experience in using both hardware and software audio devices deployed in digital audio recording and particularly to the extent of developing problem-solving skills in fault finding connectivity.

The module covers a variety audio applications to the wider context of the industry, namely theatre and film environments where audio meets an extended close relations such as show control, cueing and audio-for-video applications.

In this module students will research, design, plan and manage the creation of a collaborative projects. This can include scripted narrative music video to a client brief, a production of an album or the creation of a live-event. Students will develop the craft skills which complement existing audio learning, whilst managing all aspects of the production process including client liaison, pre and post-production to the mastering of the final product as per engagement and collaboration akin to tha

You will have the opportunity to explore the mastering levels as per requirements of various different delivery methods of audio content. This will involve final mixing stages and the primary mastering signal chain to finalise recordings as required by radio, CDs, Spotify, YouTube and other named platforms. You will be given opportunities to further enhance your critical listening abilities and begin to recognise loudness integration and develop an appreciation towards the need for a coherent an

This module covers everything you would need to know about the operation of a modern production media studio set up, from both a technical and best industry practice point of view. After completing this module you should be able to appreciate industry-standard audio production equipment and practices as operated in the modern media production industry, undertake productions suitable for internet radio platforms, appreciate industry-standard video production equipment and practices as operated in

A placement year is an extended period of work experience at an approved partner that will complement your programme of study at LJMU. It will give you the opportunity to develop professional skills relevant to your course as well as the attitude and behaviours necessary for employment in a diverse and changing environment. Placements are normally for one calendar year on a full-time basis. Split placements of a shorter duration may be permissible.

The aim is to provide students with an additional year of study at an approved overseas partner that will complement their programme at LJMU.

To allow the students to develop their knowledge, skills, and general expertise in relation to a project deliverable embodying technical mastery, good design practice, and self-management on a subject of their choice. The project will provide the opportunity for the students to demonstrate their ability to learn and develop their skills independently culminating in an appropriate media-related deliverable suitable for showcasing to prospective employers.

To prepare the students to undertake their own media-related projects and to deliver the required skill set for successful completion of their investigations.

Archival, restoration, analogue-to-digital restoration of audio for various applications within the audio industry through enhancement of audio signals.

This module provides space for self-assessment and identification of career opportunities with established organisations and/or freelance work and business start-up. This module enables the students to develop the managerial skills and commercial awareness required to research and create a media-related enterprise or event by organising people, resources and time. It prepares students for the expectancy of future employers and develops employability skills. It enables the student to develop medi

Students will explore the legal frameworks and commercial pathways involved in delivering, licensing, and distributing audio products in contemporary media industries. Students will develop a critical understanding of digital delivery specifications, rights management, licensing models, and distribution ecosystems across music, broadcast, podcasting, film, games, and various other media. Emphasis is placed on practical application, compliance, and developing industry-ready deliverables.

In this module students will develop their skills in the areas of streaming developments with a basic introduction to computing specifications required to develop and create.
