> The establishment of the Department of Digital Art and Design at  
> School of Software at Peking University presents an historical  
> opportunity for the first such formal collaboration of the arts and  
> sciences in an academic setting. Our new program will provide the  
> same or higher levels of instructions in the Digital Arts as in  
> many of the institutions in North America and Europe. With a highly  
> developed curricula, students in China now have a way of exploring  
> the use of technologies in Computer Animation, Digital Audio,  
> Interactive Multimedia and Computer Gaming as well as Special  
> Topics independently guided by an international academic staff. Our  
> program will provide a unique circumstance where the deep and rich  
> cultural background of China can be expressed and brought to the  
> world in line with current emergent art and technology discourses
>
> The audio program/direction in the Department of Digital Art and  
> Design will be oriented toward complementing the other professional  
> directions within the department (animation, games, technical  
> direction) in our goal toward producing highly qualified experts in  
> the field. The digital audio program is not oriented toward a music  
> conservatory competency but will instead work within a technical,  
> organized sound (sonic art) paradigm.
>
> Three focuses may be developed:
>
> 1. Students with a art/music focus will compose concert art and  
> installation works
> 2. A professional focus will concentrate on music/sound composition  
> for film/video/game soundtracks, while attaining professional level  
> skills in studio based techniques (recording/mixing/mastering)
> 3. A technical focus within the direction will aim toward  
> fundamental software research in the field of audio
>
> The two year program will guide the student in phases toward  
> accomplishment in:
>
> 1. professional audio processes and vocabulary; interdisciplinary  
> media production; development of professional audio applications
>
> 2. expertise in the operation and maintenance of a professional  
> audio production studio
>
> 3. audio synthesis and analysis; sound programming
>
> 4. advanced recording, mixing and processing techniques; principles  
> of sound spatialization and filtering; real-time performance  
> techniques
>
> The main goal of the digital audio program is to guide the student  
> toward an advanced, competently researched thesis topic in digital  
> audio.
