Hi, I'm a guy from Italy who decided that sound engineer can be his
profession.
Now I wonder to know which are the best Universities which offers a
"sound engineering" or "audio engineering" degree. Here in Italy we
don't have anything like that in University, only some courses to
become a sort of "sound technician" who can work in recording studios,
or as a live sound technician, but not really an engineer. I'm looking
for the best I can find, no matter where it is, how long it takes
If any of you can give me some advices, or just tell me his
experiences, i don't know, anything that can help me, I will
appreciate that.

Thank you!

Gianluca

Even a degree, or having completed a course at an American audio college
will not guarantee you a job, and few studios can offer proper formal
training
these days, so maybe an application to a broadcasting company might be the
best route.

I know I'm an old fart, but the lack of general knowledge about the
techical basics of TV - including things other than sound - are surprising
from those with various 'media' degrees. I was taught those on a 3 month
residential course at the BBC training centre - let alone several years of
college.
