UNSW Sydney

Acoustical engineering is the application of acoustics – the science of sound and vibration – in technology, with broad applications from the design of cars, 3D-audio systems and concert halls, to reducing aircraft noise and using ultrasound to fight antimicrobial resistance. This course will allow you to balance your interest in sound and technology with the study of music. The first two years will develop your core understanding of acoustics and audio signal processing, while studying both engineering and music modules. First-year engineering modules will develop your design and programming skills, preparing you to design, build and test acoustical engineering systems, components, and mechanisms. In your second year, you will deepen your understanding of acoustics, sound and mathematics, as well as learn about audio engineering technology. In your third year, you will work on an engineering or music-based individual project, as well as specialist acoustics and music modules.
