Acoustic PhD opportunities

PhD alumni Lauren Ward working for BBC R&D on a pioneering accessible version of Casuality during lockdown. Read more about this project on the BBC R&D blog.

The Acoustics Research Centre has a thriving and growing student population studying a doctoral 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.
