MSc Applied Acoustics

Our MSc in Applied Acoustics taps into multiple disciplines and major global issues, such as developing electric vehicles, managing noise pollution in urban areas, and advancing smart cities through active noise cancellation, soundscape design, and artificial intelligence (AI). On the MSc Applied Acoustics course, you will study the varied aspects of acoustics from room acoustics and noise control to architectural acoustics and acoustic modelling. With the combination of theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience you will be able to tackle real-world problems within the acoustics field. Acoustics has a great impact on our daily lives and quality of life. This is reflected in many aspects of modern living, such as music, living spaces, schools, hospitals, airports, and many more. There is an ever-growing demand for people with the skills and knowledge to analyse acoustics problems and design and implement viable modern solutions in a wide variety of areas such as construction, built environment, consultancy and automotive. Study options As well as the regular full-time 1-year option, this course can be studied part-time over 2 years, or as a 1-year top-up part-time. Top-up The top-up part-time option allows you to top up an existing qualification into a full Masters degree. To enrol in the top-up course, you will need to have already obtained the Institute of Acoustics Diploma in Acoustics and Noise Control.

You should have an honours degree (2:1 or above) from a UK university or equivalent. You must demonstrate a clear interest in acoustics. We may also offer you a place based on relevant experience or training, normally from within the work environment. All applications are considered individually.Find out more about our processes for recognising previous experience.
