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. 

Take your studies further

With a focus on solving real-world problems, you will explore the principles of acoustics, analogue electronics, speech, environmental noise measurement, digital signal processing, psychoacoustics, audio systems and speaker design. With our MEng pathway, you will also study a wider range of advanced modules, ready to explore the range of opportunities that are open to you with specialist acoustic knowledge when you graduate. You will also have the opportunity to complete an industry placement, providing additional real-world context for your studies. 

Industry-focused approach

For over 60 years Salford has pioneered acoustics teaching and research. Led by research-active practitioners, our courses include practical experiments in our world-class acoustic laboratories and facilities, where you can discover the amazing ways that sound and acoustics impact our everyday lives. 

Successfully completing an acoustical and audio engineering degree course can put you in a great position to take a leading role in the diverse world of sound, music production, acoustics and audio. With a growing number of opportunities in areas such as environmental noise measurement, loudspeaker system design for music venues and noise control, there are exciting and emerging career fields to consider

Audio and acoustics graduates often develop careers as acoustic consultants improving the sound of buildings or reducing noise, product developers carrying out research and development in an industry or university setting, and audio software engineers in broadcast and gaming. Our graduates have progressed their career in roles with Arup, BBS, Apple, Dolby, Jaguar Land Rover and Bang and Olufson.
