Acoustical Engineering, MEng (Hons), with industry placement

Acoustical engineering applies the science of sound and vibration to technology, encompassing applications such as designing cars, 3D-audio systems, concert halls, reducing aircraft noise, and using ultrasound for antimicrobial resistance. As a student in this integrated master's program, you will gain specialized knowledge of sound, vibration, and their human impacts, alongside core engineering fundamentals through theoretical studies, practical design modules, and projects.In the first two years, you will cover acoustics, audio signal processing, and mechanical engineering principles like mechatronics and electronics. The third year includes advanced modules and an individual project on acoustics and human responses, while the fourth year features group design projects and professional engineering aspects. Access to facilities like anechoic chambers and wind tunnels enhances learning, and an optional industrial placement year boosts employability. The course is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and meets Institute of Acoustics requirements, offering a path to chartered status.
