Course Overview

With a focus on solving real-world problems, acoustics explores the physics of sound and the psychology of how people react to noise and vibration. Prepare for a rewarding future career where you can create a better sounding world with our MEng (Hons) Acoustical and Audio Engineering degree.

For over 60 years Salford has pioneered acoustics teaching and research, and is recognised by the UK Institute of Acoustics with a route to Chartered Engineer status meaning you will be taught to the highest industry standards. Led by research-active practitioners, you'll complete practical experiments in our acoustic facilities, and discover the amazing ways that sound and acoustics impact our everyday lives.

We use small-group teaching to guide you through this creative area of science and engineering. You will follow carefully-designed modules that embed theoretical knowledge and creative application, and nurture your transferable skills so you can become a world-class acoustic and audio professional.
