Course summary


Acoustics explores the physics of sound and the psychology behind how people react to noise and vibration. Discover how you can create a better sounding world with our MEng (Hons) Acoustical and Audio Engineering with Professional Experience degree.

We come into contact with acoustics and audio every day. From headphone moments and live music to the vibrations and loud noises made by our transport systems, sound – good or bad – makes a difference to our wellbeing. By studying the fascinating field of acoustics, you can open up exciting career opportunities where you can create, shape and manage sound, noise and vibration.


Learn to create a better sounding world

Located in our Peel Park campus, minutes from buzzing central Manchester, our acoustical and audio engineering degree will guide you through this creative blend of science and engineering. We use small-group teaching to deliver carefully-designed modules that embed theoretical knowledge and creative application, and help you to build technical and transferable skills for your future career.Initially, you will develop a strong knowledge foundation in topics such as analogue electronics, mathematics and computing. As you progress, you will explore digital signal processing and microphone and speaker design. You will also complete a group design project to find a creative solution to a real-world challenge. In your final year, you can begin to shape your degree around your interests, selecting optional modules in areas such as psychoacoustics, room acoustics and noise control. You will also complete further experiments and project work, culminating in your individual project. By studying our integrated masters pathway, you will also have the opportunity to expand your areas of knowledge within acoustics by studying an additional year of specialist modules. This pathway is also designed to include an industry placement between years two and three, where you can gain additional transferable and professional skills. On successful completion, you can add 'with professional experience' to your final degree award.


Build skills using world-class facilities

At the forefront of audio and acoustics teaching and research for over 60 years, we are home to some ground-breaking, world-class facilities. During your studies, you will develop your hands-on skills in laboratories and studios used for industry testing and research. This includes an anechoic chamber and two semi-anechoic chambers, a transmission suite, reverberation chambers, an ITU standard listening room, a 3D Ambisonic listening booth and audiometric test facilities.


Get closer to industry

With the legendary Manchester music scene on our doorstep, you will have plenty of opportunities to see acoustics and audio in action. Along with a network of major media companies surrounding our MediaCity campus, you will be in the right place to add some practical industry experience to your studies too.
