Master of Science (MSc) in Engineering Acoustics
Traffic noise affects our health, music shapes our emotions, and sound influences how we experience our cities, workplaces, and homes. When you study Engineering Acoustics, you learn to design sound solutions that improve health, comfort, and sustainability. You work at the intersection of physics, signal processing, and hearing to create impactful applications.
Shaping sound for society
The programme gives you advanced knowledge of sound and vibration and how they affect people, technology, and the built environment. During your studies, you learn to combine a strong theoretical foundation with experimental work and practical engineering methods, enabling you to address complex sound-related challenges.
You study sound from both physical and human perspectives. This includes wave propagation, acoustical modelling, signal processing, and measurement techniques, as well as hearing, perception, and the interaction between sound and the auditory system. Through laboratory work, teamwork, and project-based learning, you gain experience working with real acoustic systems and technologies.
Sound plays a central role in many of today’s challenges – from noise and health in urban environments to sustainable design of buildings, products, and transport systems. In this programme, you learn to create solutions that balance technical performance, human well-being, and environmental considerations.
The polytechnical approach allows you to work across disciplines and apply acoustics in a wide range of contexts, preparing you to make a meaningful difference for people and society.
