Study Acoustics, Audio and Video at Salford
Unwanted noise is an increasingly important concern in our increasingly busy world. Acoustical engineers are in increasing demand across multiple sectors, as they work to create superior sound in buildings, reduce noise and vibration in transport, and engineer new audio systems that bring music to life. With an acoustics-based degree, you can join them.
For over 60 years, Salford has pioneered acoustics study and research to develop new knowledge, noise legislation and commercial audio products. Led by expert tutors, our range of acoustic and audio-focused degree courses explore the science of sound, vibration and its human impact, to prepare you for a career where you can engineer a better sounding world.
