Part of: [AI, Computer and Data Science](https://www.qmul.ac.uk/study/ai-computer-and-data-science/)

Become an expert in sound and music computing by developing new tools or products, like audio processors or instruments, and contribute to the expanding music and media technology sector. Prepare for your career by merging your interest in music with technology. Align your passion for music with technology through two specialised streams: the AI and Music Data Science stream, focusing on music distribution and data analytics, and the Audio and Music Engineering stream, dedicated to crafting innovative music hardware.

Study this programme if:

- You aim to align your musical and technical skills with industry demands.
- You aspire to pursue a career in streaming, music distribution, or designing and developing music hardware.
- You have a keen interest in exploring how people interact with sound and music.
- You want to learn from leading experts at the [Centre for Digital Music](https://c4dm.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/), actively involved in research, running highly successful spin-out companies, and collaborating with industry figures.
- You desire a comprehensive understanding of both the technical and human facets of sound production.

## What you'll study

This course will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the design and software development process for music recording, analysis, and synthesis in diverse environments, such as home, studio, and live performances.

You will study how musical sound is processed by the mind and brain - crucial for developing creative tools and intuitive interfaces, as well as the creative production of new music. You will also be introduced to state-of-the-art methods for the analysis of music data.

You will choose a stream to specialise in, to further develop your professional profile.

As well as lectures and seminars, you’ll engage in hands-on computing and laboratory work to gain practical insights and skills.

### Structure

- Eight modules in each stream
- Final project module

All students will undertake two compulsory modules covering music informatics and music perception and cognition.

Optional modules are split into two streams: AI and Music Data Science or Audio and Music Systems Engineering.

### AI and Music Data Science stream

This stream equips you with the expertise to become a specialist in streaming and music distribution, featuring a diverse range of modules finely tuned for the music industry. Gain proficiency in applying data analytics, information retrieval, and signal processing skills to music. Students studying this stream should have strong software engineering skills, as well as a solid interest in music. Whether working on niche recommendation services for small labels, collaborating with artists for enhanced promotion, or creating AI tools for creative professionals, this stream positions you at the forefront of AI and Music Data Science, ready to make meaningful contributions in a variety of roles within the music industry.

**Semester A\**ECS708P - Machine Learning\
ECS741P - Music Perception and Cognition\
ECS766P - Data Mining\
ECS759P - Artificial Intelligence

**Semester B\**ECS7013P - Deep Learning for Audio and Music\
ECS7006P - Music Informatics\
ECS7022P - Computational Creativity\
ECS7028P - Data Semantics

**Semester C\**ECS750P - Project (must take and pass)

### Audio and Music Systems Engineering stream

This module stream readies you for specialisation in designing and developing music hardware or software, encompassing performance, production, and distribution. The increasing demand for engineers in this field is driven by the growing complexity of audio technology and the continual need for sophisticated sound in entertainment and communications. Students in this stream will gain essential skills for crafting software or hardware for mixing consoles, PA systems, instruments,  and software plugins, merging a strong musical foundation with exceptional software or hardware engineering expertise.

**Semester A\**Fundamentals of DSP\
Music Perception and Cognition\
Interactive Digital Multimedia Techniques\
Sound Recording and Production Techniques

**Semester B\**Music and Audio Programming\
Music Informatics\
Interactive System Design\
Data Semantics

**Semester C\**Project (must take and pass)

**Find out more about each module below, by looking them up in the [module directory](https://www.qmul.ac.uk/modules/).**

*Please note that all modules are subject to change.*

### Assessment

- Modules are assessed through a combination of coursework and written examinations.
- The final project is examined on the basis of a written report, a formal oral presentation, and a demonstration of the piece of software developed by the student.

### Research project

Individual projects are undertaken during the summer months, under the supervision of an academic member of staff, with whom there are normally weekly consultancy meetings. These are used for students to report on their progress, discuss research design and plan their future work.

The Projects Coordinator also runs taught sessions to support the project module. A number of industrial-linked projects may be offered each year, which students can apply for.

## Teaching

Teaching for all modules includes a combination of lectures, seminars and use of a virtual learning environment. Each module provides contact time with your lecturers, supported by lab work and self-directed further study.

You will be assigned an Academic Advisor who will guide you in both academic and pastoral matters throughout your time at Queen Mary.

Part-time study options often mean that the number of modules taken is reduced per semester, with the full modules required to complete the programme spread over two academic years.
