Music Production and Recording - Graduate studies

The unique programme is for those already working with music production and recording, as well as new audio technologies. Throughout the study, you have a variety of practical opportunities. You will learn about various techniques for recording music in concert settings and in the studio. Performance venues for practical work are diverse, and the faculty has well-established collaborations with partners such as the Stavanger Symphony Orchestra, Folken (a student concert venue), Stavanger Jazz Forum, Siddis Brass (a national brass band competition), the Norwegian Organ Festival, Fiskepiren (a new concert scene) and others. Collaborating with the most active music venues in Stavanger, students get plenty of practical experience recording concerts. In addition, they are expected to pursue their own projects. The programme is especially aimed at musicians, audio engineers, and music educators with a variety of backgrounds and experiences, as well as younger, experienced music recordists. The programme can serve as an alternative to a traditional studio internship. The programme's activities are divided between group work, practical exercises, and individual mentoring. During the study, students gain experience with the best practices for working with different music genres and music productions styles. Students also visit a variety of professional facilities and are encouraged to attend local, national, and international conferences, as well as workshops and master classes during their time in the programme. The programme has an international profile and is limited to 10 qualified students.
