The BEng (Hons) Acoustical and Audio Engineering at the University of Salford is your gateway to understanding and shaping the world of sound. This degree is for you if you are fascinated by how sound works, how we perceive it, and how its principles can be applied to create better environments and experiences. You will explore the physics of acoustics, the psychology of hearing, and the engineering required to control noise, enhance audio quality, and design immersive soundscapes. This programme prepares you for a career where you can directly impact how people experience the world through sound.
This full-time, on-campus undergraduate degree is studied over three years. You will engage with core subjects including mathematics, analogue and digital signal processing, and microphone and loudspeaker design, alongside practical laboratory work and studio production. The curriculum is designed to build your expertise progressively, culminating in a significant final year project where you can focus on areas such as room acoustics, psychoacoustics, or immersive sound reproduction. You will graduate with the technical skills and professional understanding to pursue careers in fields ranging from architectural acoustics and audio product development to noise control and broadcast engineering.
