Description

Acoustic engineering helps society by creating healthy acoustic environments and reducing harmful environmental noise. It enables to assist the hearing impaired, to design innovative architectural spaces, as well as to improve the sound quality delivered by loudspeakers and communication devices. Acoustic signals are a central part of modern signal processing, and they constitute an important source of information in the age of big data and artificial intelligence.

Sound technology is increasingly important in our society, and it is present in almost every aspect of our lives.

The Engineering Acoustics programme covers a wide range of topics within acoustics—including the fundamentals of sound propagation, advanced measurement techniques, and understanding and modelling of the human hearing system.

The MSc Eng programme thus offers a large number of courses dealing with human hearing and reaction to sound, acoustic measurement methods, electroacoustic systems and sensors, architectural acoustics, environmental acoustics, vibration control, signal processing and machine learning.

The choice of courses in the students’ individual study plan offers a high degree of flexibility. Therefore, you have every opportunity to design your own study programme and career by choosing from the wide range of courses offered at DTU.
The MSc Eng is a two-year graduate programme with a workload of 120 ECTS credit points.

Career Opportunities 

The MSc Eng degree in Engineering Acoustics provides a good basis for global employment with electrical, audio, and audiology companies, universities and research centres, or consultancy firms specializing in acoustics. The profile of our MSc Eng students is highly valued by the acoustic industry in Denmark as well as internationally.

DTU Lyngby Campus

Description

DTU’s main campus consists of more than 100 buildings on a 106-hectare plain, which is divided into four quadrants—just like points in a coordinate system. The campus is safe and secure, and a site of great natural beauty with wooded areas, sports fields, inner courtyards, and gardens.  

The campus is located within the Greater Copenhagen Area and is easily accessed by car or public transport. You can get from DTU to Copenhagen Center in about 40 minutes by bus or trian, 45 minutes by bike and 20 minutes by car.

Most of the DTU main campus was build in the 1960s and 1970s, but new and modern facilities have been build continuously. DTU is currently investing more than 500,000,000 EUR in a comprehensive transformation of the university buildings and infrastructure, which is aimed at providing world-class research and student facilities.
