The Master's program in the Art of Film Sound prepares future editors and sound engineers, providing students with a detailed knowledge of specialized techniques and the opportunity to acquire a conceptual understanding of sound.
The master's students also focus on aspects related to the production of film music, as well as the recording and editing process. The involvement of master's students in the creation of the soundtrack of fiction films, in collaboration with colleagues from other specializations, will allow them to constantly use the knowledge and use the acquired skills. We thus aim to develop team spirit, but also to materialize a representative personal portfolio for the graduate.
