With a firm emphasis on storytelling, you’ll develop an aesthetic awareness integrated with technical expertise, being encouraged to be a collaborator from an early stage in all productions and throughout the whole post-production process.\n\nThe course represents a steady progression beginning with the basic technology and skills that underpin and support the creative process and ending with the responsibility for sound design on a range of graduation projects, including fiction, documentary, animation, science and natural history, TV, and games. At each stage skills are added through workshops, to provide you with a comprehensive education that is of great value in understanding, and communicating with, other industry professionals.",

At the NFTS, we marry together training in the technical skills of sound design with a passion for telling stories through sound.\n\nAt the NFTS, you’ll get to work in industry-standard facilities and learn all aspects of audio post-production, developing the techniques and creative awareness required to work as a professional sound editor, sound designer and dubbing mixer.\n\nYou will also have the opportunity to use your skills to tell real stories, collaborating with students including composers, production sound, editors and directors on a range on genres across film, television and games.\n\n**Course Facilities**\n\nNFTS Sound Editing suites are fully equipped with Apple computers, Protools, key industry plugins, LCR or 5.1 monitoring from PSI, and S1 mix controllers. Our Dubbing Theatres are kitted out with Industry standard Avid S6 and S4 mixing consoles. The studios are Dolby approved, with JBL Monitoring and ProTools Digital Audio Workstations. Our largest Dolby Atmos dubbing theatre is based in the original Anvil recording studio, where many famous scores were recorded, including those for the Hammer Horror films. \n\nWe also have a dedicated Music Recording Studio for recording live music and foley.",
