In the early stages of our 36-week Studio Sound Diploma course students will be build strong foundations by studying generic audio theory and it’s practical application. This quickly leads on to exploring advanced music production and audio engineering techniques. You will also have the opportunity to gain recognised certifications in industry standard software like Pro Tools and Logic. This course has been extremely successful in launching graduates into successful careers in the industry.

 

After a short break you will start our Audio Post Production & Game Sound Diploma. This course is designed to follow on from our Studio Sound Diploma. Over 16 weeks we look at all areas of the art of synchronising audio to moving picture. We also explore the world of game audio, looking a specialist triggering software like fMod and Wwise.  Along the way learning about sound design, dialogue replacement, foley & location recording - and of course, multichannel mixing techniques.

 

Students receive more individual practical time than any other college. Our studio facilities are second to none. We are also very well connected in the industry and pride ourselves as being the first point of call for employers looking for runners and assistants.

Alchemea's full time programmes are very intensive. For this reason we recommend that student's do not undertake too much additional work to support their studies. It is therefore important that you have sufficient funds to get you through the course. If you do have to work then we advice that this is not more than one day of the weekend and possibly a night or two in the week. NOTE - visa student's are unable to work in the UK. If you hold a Tier-4 (General) visa you will be allowed to undertake unpaid work experience.
Yes - we include these as part of your media pack. We feel that it is important that you have access to a Mac based Pro Tools system in case you wish to work on your projects or make recordings remotely.
Alchemea closes for 2-weeks at the end of June and over Christmas. During this time full time students are free to take holiday. Short courses and events will still run during the summer break. Students will work on most public holidays. Our Diploma courses are intensive and you will be allocated practical sessions over some weekends. If you have a commitment, and assuming you give us plenty of notice, we will avoid booking your session on the weekend.
Because Alchemea is a "not for profit" organsiation ALL of our courses are exempt from VAT. Regardless of whether you are a business or an individual - you will not be charged VAT.
Tier-4 (General) student visa. Because our Diploma in Studio Sound Engineering course is over 6-months in duration you will need to apply for a Tier-4 (General) student visa.

Thanks for great year and for a really good course. I enjoyed every second of the Studio Sound Diploma and i've been recommending the course to sound geeks on this island in the north. Since the course i've been mixing two albums from two different bands and recording for another one here so that's kind of my first "job" after the course....it's great fun! Gudmundur Thor Gunnarsson , Studio Sound Diploma 2012
After researching for Sound Engineering Courses in London I came across Alchemea’s website and felt it was undoubtedly the best place to study. I was also attracted to the fact they were the Europe’s leading Pro Tools Training Centre (Avid Pro School) and my training would be delivered by leading industry professionals.

I therefore signed up to take the “Diploma in Studio Sound Engineering” integrating the Pro Tools music, post and ICON certification modules. The course was very intensive and required a great deal of hard work, commitment and time, but it was definitely worth the effort. Getting my hands on amazing equipment, learning from experienced professionals and making new friends from many cultural backgrounds were among my best experiences at the college.

Once I finished all the courses in Dec 2010, I decided to take my Pro Tools knowledge to the highest level by signing up for the 310M & 310P (Expert) modules. It was incredibly tough but I passed and am very grateful for I received in helping me to succeed and achieve my goals.

Overall, I would strongly recommend Alchemea and would like to say a big thank you the staff for giving me the real world knowledge and confidence to pursue a career in pro-audio. The experience will be cherished for the rest of my life. Vinit Gala: India , 2010/11
I'm DONE. What an amazing 9 months on Alchemea's Studio Sound Diploma course. Huge shout out to all Alchemea staff for making it so great. Met so many wonderful people. Feeling very lucky to have been a part of this school! Simon D Pratt, SSD 2012
Today is a pretty important day in my life. I got an intern job at a post production facility. It is just an intern job but it is a huge chance for me to grow in the industry I love the most. I realise how much the education you guys gave me in the Studio Sound Diploma made an actual proper difference in getting the owner to hire me. I thank you guys so much, I arrived at the College with just a so-called DJ audio knowledge and now I'm hopefully starting a pro career, and you have a big share of the merit. Flavio Diolaiti, SSDLSD 2012
First of all, I wanted to thank you for the wonderful experience that Alchemea provided me, I'm very grateful!! This last year and a half taking the Studio & Live Sound Diploma have been absolutely amazing for me, the best of times. I learned so much and felt like at home with all the great people that conform the Alchemea crew. It was a pleasure and a honor being there, and now being part of the family! Sebastian Acosta, SSD & LSD 2011
Had such a great last 9 months on the Studio Sound Diploma, learnt loads of awesome things, got to play with some amazing tools, was taught by fabulous lecturers & met some fantastic people. It's been an absolute pleasure! Joe Standen, SSD 2012
"Alchemea College is the perfect place to learn everything from recording, to mixing and mastering, as well as Post Production. Of course it requires a lot of effort, committement and time, but it's definetely worth it. The skills i gained at the college were crucial for me to find work after the course completition, especially the Pro Tools lectures. The Software is well taught by industry professionals and is present in every workstation and computer in the college, and this makes the learning process much easier." Paulo G, Studio Sound Diploma 2009
Great course, awesome lecturers, anyone who has any interest in recording or live sound should check it out! I was a total novice coming into this, not even half way through and have already learned so much - Alchemea = awesome!!! Russell Nie, Studio Sound Diploma: 2010
