ACOUSTICAL AND AUDIO ENGINEERING WITH PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE at University of Salford

Acoustical and audio engineering explores noise, vibration and sound in the context of architectural spaces, audio systems and consumer products. By understanding how people and environments react and respond to sound, our acoustical and audio engineering degree course will enable you to engineer a better sounding world.

For over 60 years Salford has pioneered acoustics teaching and research. Recognised by the UK Institute of Acoustics with a route to Chartered Engineer status, our acoustical and audio engineering degree will guide you through the creative science and engineering, whether its used to manage sound for virtual reality, or create noise barriers for high speed rail.

Delivered over three years – or four with a placement year - you’ll study a suite of modules designed to embed theoretical knowledge and creative application to help you become a world-class acoustic and audio professional. With a focus on real-world problems solving, you'll explore the principles of acoustics, analogue electronics, speech, environmental noise measurement, digital signal processing, psychoacoustics, audio systems and speaker design.

This course is also available with an integrated masters route.

You will:

• Build professional knowledge and skills that lead to Chartered Engineer status
• Understand the social, legal and environmental issues associated with senior engineering roles
• Explore cutting-edge topics such as noise measurement, psychoacoustics, audio design and sound management
• Complete experiments and projects in specialised acoustics facilities and laboratories
• Take a placement year to develop your workplace skills
