BEng Acoustical Engineering
Study the fundamentals of mechanical engineering with specialist training in their application in sound, vibration and human effects
Acoustical engineers are in great demand in almost every field of engineering, whether they are creating better-sounding concert halls, superior sound reproduction systems, clearer ultrasound scans or quieter aeroplanes.
Acoustical engineering is the application of acoustics - the science of sound and vibration - in technology. It has broad applications across most aspects of society, from automotive design to improving medical imaging.
Our courses will provide you with a specialist knowledge of sound, vibration, and their human effects, together with a core knowledge of mechanical engineering.
Study the fundamentals of mechanical engineering with specialist training in their application in sound, vibration and human effects
Deepen your understanding of acoustics and human responses to sound and vibration with a four-year degree
Combine an interest in sound and technology with musical studies, for a broad-based education in both fields. (This course will be open for entry in 2023)
