Master in Music and Media Technologies (MPhil) - Trinity

In recognition of a shared interest in Information Technology and a growing awareness of its relevance for music, Electronic and Electrical Engineering and Music initiated the Master in Music and Media Technologies (MPhil) in 1996.

A particular feature of this program is a balanced approach to musical and technological topics. Musically, a strong emphasis is placed on the development of adaptable compositional skills, while technological topics are addressed from both a hands-on workstation/studio exposure and a fundamental mathematical and scientific basis, which focuses on musically relevant issues.

The overall objective of the Master in Music and Media Technologies (MPhil) is to provide a thorough grasp of the principles and applications of computer, audio and video technologies in combination with significant exposure to media related topics such as music, visual music, and interactive installations.

Artistic creativity is stimulated and developed over the year of the program through a combination of exam and assignment-based work and culminating in a final thesis which features a significant and original contribution of a technological and/or artistic nature.
