Acoustical and Audio Engineering

About this course

Acoustical and audio engineering is the discipline that applies physics and engineering to the behaviour of sound, whether the goal is to control noise in the built environment, design concert hall acoustics, develop hearing technology, build audio recording and reproduction systems, or create the sonic environments of film, broadcast, and games. Sound is a physical phenomenon governed by wave mechanics, and engineering it well requires both a rigorous understanding of its physical properties and the practical knowledge of the electronic and digital systems used to capture, process, transmit, and reproduce it. The field is technically demanding and creative, sitting at the boundary between science, engineering, and the arts. At Salford, this three-year degree draws on the university's internationally recognised expertise in acoustics and audio research. You will study the physics and ma
