It is a discipline that requires both technical precision and creative vision, combining advanced audio engineering skills with an understanding of storytelling and the expressive possibilities of sound. At Glasgow School of Art, which is renowned for its creative and technical training, the BDes (Hons) Sound for the Moving Image is a two-year degree programme accepting students who enter directly at year three, either with articulation from HND progra
