Acoustics and Audio Technology - Computer, Communication and Information Sciences, Master of Science (Technology)

The studies concentrate on the fields of electroacoustics, room and building acoustics, noise, musical acoustics, and audio signal processing. A central subject area is technical psychoacoustics, which covers acoustical and audio technologies that are based on the understanding of human hearing mechanisms. These fields together constitute communication acoustics in which a human listener always exists at the end of the acoustic communication channel.

The objective of the major is that after graduation you will be able to apply your knowledge and skills flexibly in different tasks in the industry and the academia. You will be able to measure, understand the perceptual aspects, and design, e.g., the acoustics of a classroom or a loudspeaker. In addition, you have good skills in audio signal processing and you understand what is important from the human hearing point of view.

We are looking for students who are interested in music, hearing, sound reproduction, audio signal processing or sound in general. To succeed in our curriculum, your bachelor studies should contain basic university physics, mathematics and digital signal processing.
