Through the wide choice of modules available in the Sound and Vibration Studies Programme, you have the possibility to specialise in one of the three following areas:

Applied Digital Signal Processing
Engineering Acoustics
Structural Dynamics
Specific aims of this MSc programme are:

To enable you to acquire some of the advanced knowledge and practical skills needed for a professional career in sound, vibration and signal processing.
To develop your ability to apply the academic knowledge gained to practical situations in your chosen discipline.
Through a substantial open-ended research project, to develop your critical and analytical abilities as well as project management skills.
Subsidiary aims are:

To provide a supply of well-trained and motivated graduates for research positions both in the ISVR and elsewhere.
