Overview

The MSc in Applied Acoustics offers a top-up route for professional acousticians to achieve a highly regarded master’s degree through distance learning. Entry requires completion of the Institute of Acoustics (IOA) Diploma in Acoustics. The programme can be studied full-time or part-time at a leading centre with over 30 years of experience delivering acoustics courses, providing a recognised qualification that enhances career prospects within the profession. The course builds on foundational acoustics knowledge, equipping students with high-level skills to review various methods of noise assessment and control. Interdisciplinary approaches are applied to solve acoustic problems, drawing on real-world case studies. Work-based projects are tailored to the professional role and organisational needs, allowing students to integrate learning with practical application while enjoying the flexibility and convenience of distance learning. This fast-track route to a master’s degree centres on a research-based investigation—either practical or desktop-based—culminating in a thesis on a chosen acoustics topic. Academic supervision and support are provided throughout the independent study. For students already employed in the acoustics field, the programme ensures that the skills and knowledge gained are directly relevant to day-to-day professional practice. Work-based studies can be developed in collaboration with employers to meet academic criteria for the MSc award. For those not currently employed in a noise-related field, guidance is provided on selecting and developing a suitable project.
