PHYSICS WITH ACOUSTICS at University of Salford

As interruptions in our daily life intensify, the impact of noise in our environments is an increasing important topic. Physics with Acoustics is your opportunity to specialise in this exciting branch of physics, leading with the careers that can make a huge difference to our world.

This integrated masters pathway offers you the opportunity to expand your knowledge of acoustics. For over 60 years, Salford has pioneered acoustics and audio research. Our discoveries have shaped commercial products and audio equipment, and set international noise regulations and standards.  Accredited by the Institute of Physics, this unique course blends physics principles with acoustic specialisms. You’ll study classical, quantum and particle physics and relativity, alongside this, you’ll follow acoustic-based modules that explore human and environment response to sound and vibration.

You will:

• Explore acoustics, including acoustic impedance, reflection, absorption and sound behaviour
• Develop a systematic understanding of human perception of sound and how this impacts on the design and delivery of audio outputs
• Take your studies to master's level, graduating with an MPhys degree
• Strengthen your knowledge and analytical technique around the principles associated with electrons and physics
• Experience laboratory sessions that apply numerical methods and techniques frequently encountered in physical and engineering challenges
