The Depart­ment of Sound Engi­neer­ing, one of the first in the world and Poland’s only cen­tre of such a kind, was estab­lished in Poland in 1954. Stu­dents fol­low a three-year BA pro­gramme, after which they can enrol for two-year MA pro­gramme, choos­ing one of three spe­cial­i­sa­tions: Music Pro­duc­tion, Film Sound Engi­neer­ing, and Sound Engi­neer­ing in the Mul­ti­me­dia. Grad­u­ates of sec­ond cycle stud­ies may find employ­ment in such areas as music record­ing, sound engi­neer­ing, film sound oper­at­ing, music illus­tra­tion, as well as oth­er music pro­fes­sions con­nect­ed with sound cre­ation.

Main and major sub­jects include (among oth­ers): music record­ing, film sound record­ing, sound cre­ation in the mul­ti­me­dia, doc­u­men­tary record­ings, real­i­sa­tion of elec­tron­ic music, sound illus­tra­tion, sound effects record­ing, score analy­sis in music record­ing, film sound aes­thet­ics, his­to­ry of film, stu­dio tech­niques, tim­bre solfege, acoustics, elec­troa­coustics, or fun­da­men­tals of elec­tron­ics.

From the aca­d­e­m­ic year 2012/2013, stud­ies for the spe­cial­i­sa­tion of Sound Engi­neer­ing in the Mul­ti­me­dia, have been car­ried out as the con­tin­u­a­tion of the project co-financed by the Oper­at­ing Pro­gramme “Human Cap­i­tal” as part of the Euro­pean Social Fund. From the aca­d­e­m­ic year 2010/2011, can­di­dates for the sec­ond cycle stud­ies in the spe­cial­ties of Music Pro­duc­tion and Film and TV Sound Engi­neer­ing can apply for widen­ing their cho­sen Major with mul­ti­me­dia sub­jects, in a form of an indi­vid­ual plan of stud­ies, as part of the project called the Inter-Uni­ver­si­ty Mul­ti­me­dia Spe­cial­ty offered by by the Depart­ment of Sound Engi­neer­ing, which is a con­tin­u­a­tion of the project co-financed by the Oper­at­ing Pro­gramme “Human Cap­i­tal” as part of the Euro­pean Social Fund.
