With the video game industry rapidly growing, more projects are now using live orchestras. Games frequently have both the budget and ambitious scale to support larger music and audio budgets and with that comes unique opportunities for composers and orchestrators. This course gives you the skills needed to reach the top in video games music, including a live orchestral session with a 50-piece orchestra and multiple chances to write for solo instrumentalists.

Preparing you for the career you deserve

This course will give you all the technical and creative skills needed to realise your music as both professional grade sampled mock-ups and prepare them for live orchestra - all in the context of interactive video game scores.

You will learn to write for live players and prepare scores for live orchestral sessions, as well as implement your MIDI mockups into game engines directly using audio middleware like Wwise.

On this course, you will learn:

  • To write dynamic music for video games required for interactive gameplay driven by the players choices
    What happens when I graduate?

    On successful completion of your course, you will be awarded a Master of Fine Arts degree from the Arts University Bournemouth. All UK degrees, including those gained through ThinkSpace Education, are recognised worldwide. The qualification is fully accredited in the UK and subject to regular quality control, review, and external invigilation to ensure the highest academic standards are maintained.
