What is the Trinity-LASALLE Music & Media Technologies Pathway?
The Trinity-LASALLE Global Pathway is a specialized academic progression route that allows graduates of LASALLE College of the Arts to enroll in the M.Phil. in Music & Media Technologies (MMT) at Trinity College Dublin.
This interdisciplinary program, hosted by the School of Engineering and the School of Creative Arts, bridges the gap between artistic composition and technological innovation in audio, video, and computer science.
Why Study Music & Media Technologies at 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 a Master programme in Music and Media Technologies in Trinity in 1996.
A particular feature of the MMT programme 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 focus on musically relevant issues.
Trinity's MSc courses have received nominations for Postgrad Ireland Best New Course in 2013, Postgrad Ireland Best Engineering Course in 2015 and Education Award at Irish Logistics and Transport Awards in 2017.
The MMT programme is a full-time, one-year course. The Postgraduate Diploma, worth 60 ECTS, is divided into two 30-ECTS semesters. To be awarded an M.Phil. in Music and Media Technologies, students must complete a third semester worth 30 ECTS, which requires the completion of a research project and a written thesis, for a total of 90 ECTS.
Our comprehensive curriculum includes:
