BSc Music, Multimedia and Electronics(For students entering from September 2024 onwards)

Our BSc Music, Multimedia and Electronics (MME) course is unique, offering you specialisms in music, electrical engineering and the intersection of the disciplines, and accreditation as an Incorporated Engineer (IEng). The course is delivered jointly by the School of Music and the School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering.

The course offers a balance of modules taken in each School to support you across the degree. In Electronics you’ll develop and apply knowledge in areas such as circuit design, embedded systems, audio signal processing and digital media, while in Music you’ll explore key concepts, theories and approaches in music technology, electronic and computer music, and various musical styles and genres in their social contexts. The programme culminates in a Music, Multimedia and Electronics Project, enabling you draw together the learning from across your degree in a research-informed practical context. You’ll develop your skills as a creative, critical and reflective thinker and researcher capable of working across music and engineering, and gain the tools and experience you need to be an independent worker, ready for life after University.

You’ll study with academics in both Schools who are experts in their fields, and receive support from dedicated technical teams. Across your course you’ll engage with the latest research, explore a range of theoretical, creative and applied aspects of music, multimedia and electronics, and develop a set of valuable subject-specific and transferrable skills. You’ll have opportunities to work independently and collaboratively, and will start to use your skills and knowledge in contexts that extend beyond the University environment. All these elements combine to provide you with an exciting and dynamic educational experience that is unique to Leeds.
