Acoustical and Audio Engineering with Foundation Year

About this course

Acoustical and audio engineering is the discipline that applies the science of sound to the design and optimisation of everything from concert halls and hearing aids to recording studios and active noise cancellation systems. Acoustics is the physics of sound, including its generation, propagation, and reception, and the engineering dimension asks how physical systems can be designed, built, and measured to achieve specific acoustic outcomes. The field spans architectural acoustics, underwater acoustics, audio electronics, signal processing, and the rapidly advancing domain of AI-enabled audio. At the University of Salford you will study across four years on a full-time programme, with a foundation year available to provide scientific and mathematical preparation, and a sandwich year with work placement integrated into the degree. Salford has a global reputation in acoustics and audio e
