Micro-credential in Spatial Audio

This micro-credential will allow audio practitioners to upskill to new audio formats and standards used in media such as VR, AR, and 360 video, and new spatial audio streaming formats such as Dolby Atmos, utilising spatial audio recording and analysis techniques for acoustic engineering and analysis. This micro-credential addresses the fundamental psychoacoustics behind techniques such as stereophony, ambisonics, and binaural to reveal how they function, and importantly their relative strengths and limitations. In addition, the practical production of audio content using these techniques will be addressed using a variety of different tools and applications. The lectures will include the theory and practice of various spatial audio techniques, using lecture-style presentations, listening sessions with various spatial audio content, and practical, studio-based tutorials. How will this Micro-credential be delivered?

• This is a classroom-based micro-credential due to the significant practical component involving spatial audio loudspeaker systems, microphones, and other tools and software.
• You will need to attend weekly 2-hour lectures during 12 weeks.

On successful completion of this micro-credential, learners will be able to:

• Understand fundamental psychoacoustics behind techniques such as stereophony, ambisonics, and binaural.
• Produce audio content using specified techniques and a variety of different tools and applications.
• Use spatial audio techniques for acoustics analysis and engineering.
