Game Sound Integration - Digital Arts and Entertainment

Game Sound Integration is a major within the Bachelor of Digital Arts and Entertainment that focuses on teaching the technical skills needed to create the sound design of games.

You learn how to be a versatile member of game development teams and to understand and execute various tasks (programming, knowledge of audio-visual language, mathematics, physics, 2D & 3D, game engines, level editing, procedures, and pipelines).

The emphasis of this major is to understand and communicate the requirements for sound design in a game. You will learn how to create audio at a professional level and be trained to deliver your audio creations to game studios correctly.

Unlike more artistic higher education programmes, the focus is on technical skills rather than aesthetics. The five key areas of the curriculum are:

1. SFX
2. Music
3. Voice recording (recording/direction/acting)
4. Foley
5. Music & Ambience

These five areas focus on creation, editing, integration, and delivery. You will be taught technical and practical skills for recording/mixing/mastering and expected to master your Digital Audio Workstation at a professional level. You will also gain a thorough understanding of how audio functions in-engine and through middleware and learn how to deliver a finished project to be implemented in a game.
