BEng (Hons) Acoustical and Audio Engineering with Professional Experience

Recognised by the UK Institute of Acoustics, our Acoustical and Audio Engineering degree course will shape your future career credentials.

Having the ability to apply technical detail is at the heart of engineering, and core to Salford’s values, so we embed this as a core learning objective throughout your studies.

On this course, you will have the option to take an industry placement year between years two and three. Although you will be responsible for securing your placement, our tutors will support you in finding a role, and monitor your progress throughout. By successfully completing a placement year, you can also add 'with professional experience' to your final degree award.

Industry placements are an excellent way to enhance your CV, gain hands-on work experience and build industry connections. We often find that placement students achieve higher final year grades.

Typically, course applicants have studied mathematics or physics subjects at school/college, and want to gain a deeper knowledge in these and other related subjects, with particular bias towards sound. Along with academic strengths in these areas, we look for applicants with a passion for audio, acoustics and sound, and a desire to build a future career working or researching in this field.

All of our courses are taught and assessed in English. If English is not your first language, you must meet our minimum English language entry requirements. An IELTS score of 6.0 (no element below 5.5) is proof of this, and we also accept a range of equivalent qualifications.

If you do not have the English language requirements, you could take our Pre-Sessional English course, or the International Foundation Year to gain entry onto this degree.
