Teaching on this engineering degree course

This course is delivered using a mixture of lectures, tutorials and practical-based work. In the final year you carry out a major project. Each module is delivered and assessed in the most appropriate way. For example, Acoustics Laboratory is a practical based module with no examinations. In contrast, the Introduction to Acoustics module is more theoretical and is delivered in a more standard lecture/tutorial format with a written end examination. We also use the web as a learning and teaching tool.

You will be taught by a wide a range of teaching staff (profiles here), all experts in different aspects of acoustic engineer and audio technology and each bringing research and/or commercial expertise.
