The future is not just composed, it’s engineered.
Located in the vibrant heart of Rīga, Latvia, Kingsman International Music Academy is more than just a school. We are a pioneering institution where the precision of science meets the passion of art, cultivating a new generation of interdisciplinary leaders, thinkers, and innovators. We are a full-time academic institution offering a unique blend of graduate, undergraduate, and high school programmes.
Engineering Harmony: Our Academic Programmes
Our curriculum is meticulously designed to bridge the traditional divides between the arts and sciences. By integrating rigorous academic discipline with creative expression, we prepare our students to not only excel in their chosen fields but also to innovate beyond them.
Music Technology and Sound Engineering
This programme is a synthesis of acoustic science, digital signal processing, and creative production. Students are trained to master the technical intricacies of sound, from live concert production to advanced studio recording and interactive media design. Our curriculum balances theoretical principles with extensive practical application.
Business of Creative Industries
Focused on the intersection of commerce and culture, this specialisation prepares students for leadership roles in the global creative economy. The curriculum covers strategic management, intellectual property law, marketing analytics, and financial modelling, all tailored to the unique dynamics of the music and entertainment sectors.
Economics of Art and Culture
This programme explores the complex economic forces that shape the creative landscape. Students analyse market behaviours, funding models, and the valuation of cultural assets. The curriculum provides a strong foundation in micro- and macro-economics while applying these principles to the unique context of the arts.
International Relations and Cultural Diplomacy
We train future diplomats and policy advisors to understand the critical role of culture in global affairs. The curriculum delves into international law, political theory, and cultural exchange, preparing students to navigate complex geopolitical landscapes through the lens of artistic and cultural understanding.
Architectural and Spatial Design
This programme is a fusion of artistic vision and structural integrity. Students learn to conceptualise and create spaces that are not only aesthetically compelling but also functionally and acoustically optimised. The curriculum integrates principles of design, engineering, and sustainable practices.
Computational Arts and Data Science
At the forefront of innovation, this programme merges data science with creative expression. Students explore algorithms, machine learning, and data visualisation as tools for artistic creation and analytical insight, pushing the boundaries of what is possible at the intersection of technology and art.
