PhD Opportunities
The Acoustics Research Centre has a thriving and growing student population studying a PhD program in subjects such as:
- Acoustic measurements
- Architectural and building acoustics
- Audio engineering
- Computer modelling of sound
- Environmental noise and vibration
- Materials for acoustics
- Psychoacoustics
- Vibro-acoustics
A research degree, such as a doctorate or masters by research, gives you an opportunity to explore an area of acoustics or audio that you find particularly interesting. The research challenge is usually to discover new science through measurement, prediction and developing an in-depth understanding of the subject.

Suggested future PhD Acoustics projects
Next steps towards a doctorate or other research degree in acoustics
- Find out if we carry out research in areas of acoustics, audio, vibration and noise engineering that interest you; each research group contains a list of members to help you discover which members of acoustics research staff carry out work you find interesting;
- Email these members of staff outlining the areas of research that interest you along with a brief CV. If you don’t have a definite funding source, detail what you are doing about this. Please only email one member of staff at a time to avoid us duplicating work.
- If you are unsure who to contact, email the Acoustics Research Centre
- Consult and follow the formal application procedure. This includes details about the information and documents you will need as well as guidance about submitting your application online.
