Acoustical Engineering, BEng (Hons)

Acoustical engineering applies acoustics—the science of sound and vibration—to technology, spanning car design, 3D-audio systems, concert halls, aircraft noise reduction, and ultrasound for combating antimicrobial resistance.As a student, you will gain specialized knowledge in sound, vibration, and their human impacts, alongside core engineering fundamentals through theoretical principles, practical design modules, and projects. The first two years cover acoustics, audio signal processing, and mechanical engineering basics like mechatronics and electronics. The third year features advanced modules and an individual project on acoustics and human responses. Access state-of-the-art facilities, including design studios, workshops, anechoic/reverberation chambers, listening room, aeroacoustic wind tunnel, loudspeaker lab, and virtual acoustics lab. Courses are accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, providing a path to chartered status and meeting Institute of Acoustics requirements.
