BEng Acoustical Engineering
Learn how to make the world sound better, with a specialist knowledge of acoustics, vibration and how they affect us. This acoustical engineering degree specialises in sound and our response to it. You'll study at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research, a leading centre for Acoustical Engineering.
This acoustical engineering course looks at how acoustics - the science of sound and vibration - is applied in technology. It has many applications, including:
design of cars
3D-audio systems
designing concert halls
reducing aircraft noise
using ultrasound to fight antimicrobial resistance
This UK acoustic engineering degree includes practical work throughout, including lab work. Our projects will allow you to design, build and test components and systems with enhanced acoustic properties. You'll gain the confidence to creatively solve engineering problems.
You'll have access to our world-class acoustic and engineering facilities, which include:
dedicated design studios and workshops
anechoic and reverberation chambers
an aeroacoustic wind tunnel
a listening room
a virtual acoustics laboratory
a professional manufacturing centre
Enhance your employability by taking this course with a paid industrial placement year.
