Program Overview

Program Overview

The Master's program in Sound and Entertainment Engineering - Audio and Entertainment Engineering is offered by the Department of Electronic Engineering at the University of Rome "Tor Vergata". The program is designed to provide advanced technical training in sound engineering, with a focus on recording, post-production, and audio processing for various artistic and technical applications.

Program Details

• Duration: 1 to 2 years
• Credits: 60
• Coordinator: Prof. Re Marco
• Course Codes: PLT (in-person channel) - PLZ (online channel)
• Start of classes: March 3

Objectives

The program aims to train advanced technical personnel capable of solving problems that arise during the recording and post-production phases of sound sources for various artistic and technical uses. The professional figure to be trained is a "Sound Engineer" with adequate skills for the phases of recording, processing, and post-production at an engineering level, and in the entertainment industry in general.

Target Audience

The Master's program is intended for graduates (new or old system) in technical, scientific, and literary disciplines, as well as diploma holders from Music Conservatories who wish to pursue the activity of sound engineer (provided they have a high school diploma), and sound technicians who want to deepen issues of interest in their professional field (provided they have any degree).

Admission Requirements

• Eligible degrees for admission to the Master's program are old and new system degrees, as well as diplomas obtained from Music Conservatories (provided they are accompanied by a high school diploma).
• For the selection of participants, a admission interview may be required, according to the criteria established in the call, if deemed necessary by the College of Teachers (in case of very different SSD from the main lines of teaching with no proven experience in the sector).
• The breadth of degrees considered suitable for the Master's program derives from the strong interaction between the technical and artistic-creative parts.

Program Structure

The program includes a combination of theoretical and practical courses, with a focus on sound engineering, audio processing, and post-production. The program also includes a final project or thesis, which allows students to apply their knowledge and skills in a real-world setting.

Assessment and Evaluation

The program uses a variety of assessment and evaluation methods, including exams, assignments, and project work. The final project or thesis is also evaluated by a panel of experts.

Career Opportunities

Graduates of the program can pursue careers in sound engineering, audio post-production, and related fields, such as film, television, and live events. They can also work as freelance sound engineers or start their own sound engineering companies.
