Sound production is the recording studio route, distinct from the design and composition versions Bath Spa also offers.

Master of Arts in Sound, Production is taught at Bath Spa University, a public university in England with full degree awarding powers. Because the sound production master is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after you finish. No job offer or sponsor is needed for the sound production master, but you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. Your student visa covers the length of the sound production master plus a short period afterwards. UK rules from January 2024 bar a dependant partner or child on taught courses, so the sound production master does not support a family move.
