What will I learn?

Acoustical engineering is the application of acoustics – the science of sound and vibration – in technology, with broad applications from the design of cars, 3D-audio systems and concert halls, to reducing aircraft noise and using ultrasound to fight antimicrobial resistance. As an acoustical engineering student, you will develop specialist knowledge of sound, vibration and their human effects, in addition to a solid foundation in a wide range of engineering fundamentals. You will learn by studying the theoretical principles of acoustical engineering Â鶹ԭ´´ practical design modules and projects.During the first two years of this integrated master's, you will study specialist modules in acoustics and audio signal processing, Â鶹ԭ´´ the core principles of mechanical engineering, including mechatronics and electronics. In your third year, advanced modules and an individual project will deepen your understanding of acoustics and human responses to sound and vibration. In your final year, you will study advanced acoustical engineering modules and participate in a group design project, applying your engineering knowledge to a design problem.You'll have access to our extensive facilities, including dedicated student design studios and workshops, anechoic and reverberation chambers, a listening room, aeroacoustic wind tunnel, loudspeaker audio lab and a virtual acoustics laboratory.Our acoustical engineering courses are accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, and offer a route to chartered status. They also meet the educational requirements for the Institute of Acoustics.

For students from Hong Kong

Typical Offer: AAA including mathematics and an additional required subjectIf you are taking an EPQ in addition to 3 A levels, you will receive the following offer in addition to the standard A level offer:AAB including mathematics (minimum grade A) and an additional required subject (minimum grade A), plus grade A in the EPQWe are committed to ensuring that all students with the potential to succeed, regardless of their background, are encouraged to apply to study with us. The additional information gained through contextual data allows us to recognise a student?s potential to succeed in the context of their background and experience.Students who are highlighted in this way will be made an offer which is lower than the typical offer for that programme, as follows:AAB including mathematics (minimum grade A) and an additional required subject (minimum grade A) Required subjects include mathematics and either chemistry, electronics, further mathematics or physics. Pass in the associated science Practical is required where applicable. Offers typically exclude General Studies and Critical Thinking.

*There may be different IELTS requirements depending on your chosen course.
