COURSE CURRICULUM

The MSc in Applied Acoustics provides a structured and comprehensive curriculum designed to develop expertise in acoustic science and its practical applications. The program includes compulsory modules such as Principles of Acoustics, which establishes the foundational understanding of sound and vibration, and Architectural Acoustics and Compliance, which focuses on designing spaces that meet acoustic standards and regulations. Acoustic Modelling and Simulation equips students with skills to analyse, model, and predict acoustic behavior in complex environments using advanced software tools. Environmental Noise: Assessment and Solutions teaches students to measure, evaluate, and mitigate noise pollution in urban, industrial, and transportation settings, addressing contemporary challenges in public health and quality of life. Electroacoustic Systems and Technologies introduces the design, analysis, and implementation of audio systems and devices, bridging theory and practical engineering. Engineering Research Methods provides the framework for rigorous scientific inquiry, preparing students to undertake independent investigation. The Audio Engineering Dissertation serves as a capstone project, allowing students to apply their knowledge and technical skills to a substantial, original piece of research or practical work. Together, these modules combine theoretical study, technical proficiency, and applied problem-solving, preparing graduates for careers in industries such as construction, consultancy, automotive, and the built environment, where acoustics expertise is essential for designing innovative, efficient, and sustainable solutions.
