Acoustics, What’s it about?
This is a specialised audio engineering degree. You will be able to enter a career involving the manipulation of music, speech and other audio signals in production, recording, broadcast and reproduction.
What will I learn?
During your year 1 you will study the fundamentals of acoustics, audio and video. You will also be introduced to the nature and synthesis of musical sounds.
Year 2 will develop your audio production techniques in our digital recording studios. You will gain an understanding of the operational and theoretical aspects of music technology. Acoustic theory will be further examined and utilised in microphone and loudspeaker design.
Your final year focuses on a more in-depth study of spatial audio and musical acoustics and digital signal processing. You will also look at speech and sound reproduction. You will carry out a large project on an audio area of your choice.
Modules include: • Audio Systems • Electronics and Circuits • Digital Audio • Audio Production • Sound Reproduction • Room Acoustics
How will I learn? Teaching is delivered through a combination of lectures, tutorials and practical work. You will also be involved in a series of individual and group projects.
3 good reasons to study this programme at Salford
Audio and Video BEng (Hons) Audio Technology
“I’m doing my industrial placement year with Dolby in Swindon, they manufacture cinema sound processors which process the audio track from the film to the speakers in the auditorium of the cinema. I’m working as a sound consultant. It’s not about creative flair with sound consultants; it’s reproducing the sounds so that when they come out of the speaker they are true to how they were recorded.”
