Acoustical Engineering, MEng (Hons), with industry placement

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 antimicrobial resistance.This integrated master's program builds specialist knowledge in sound, vibration, and human effects, alongside core engineering fundamentals through theoretical and practical modules. Years one and two cover acoustics, audio signal processing, mechatronics, and electronics. Year three advances acoustics and human responses via modules and an individual project. The final year features advanced topics and a group design project. Students access facilities including design studios, anechoic/reverberation chambers, listening room, aeroacoustic wind tunnel, loudspeaker lab, and virtual acoustics lab. An optional Industrial Placement Year offers paid engineering experience to boost employability. Courses are accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers for chartered status and meet Institute of Acoustics requirements.
