    MSc in Music, Mind and BrainGoldsmiths University of London
    London, United Kingdom
    I have recently completed a postgraduate masters in the psychology and neuroscience of music. Here I learnt the foundations of music’s effect on the brain, from cognitive function to emotional responses. My research has focused on music-induced aesthetic pleasure and its neural underpinnings, highlighting the importance of the reward based dopamine system. This unique and novel course allows me to investigate the abstract experiences of aesthetic art on human behaviour, quantitatively and qualitatively, allowing predictions and theorising to be reported.

    Post-graduate Diploma in Music Production, Audio Engineering and Music BusinessSchool of Electronic Music
     - Manchester, United Kingdom
    I studied music production, music composition, music business, commercial sound recording and engineering. Here I learned the skills to implement my musical ideas as well as exposing myself to the technological side of creativity. This field incorporates a vast amount of ingenuity, from novel electronic instruments to complex computerised software. Learning to use these interfaces has proved to be transferable when learning to use other digital ecosystems.
