Acoustical Engineering with Industrial Placement Year

About this course

Acoustical engineering is concerned with how sound and vibration behave, how they are generated, propagated, and controlled, and how engineering solutions can be designed to improve acoustic environments and reduce unwanted noise. It is a discipline with applications that range from the design of concert halls and noise barriers to the development of quieter aircraft engines and the protection of hearing in industrial settings. Sound and vibration affect human wellbeing, the performance of machinery, and the quality of built environments in ways that make acoustical engineering relevant across an unusually broad range of industries. This five-year full-time programme at the University of Southampton leads to a Master's level qualification in acoustical engineering. Southampton's Institute of Sound and Vibration Research is internationally recognised, and the programme draws on its exper
