Student Destinations

Acousticians with engineering, science and mathematical skills are in short supply, which puts you in a strong position to build a career once you graduate.

Our Acoustics postgraduate degree can up careers where you can lead and influence acoustics and audio engineering research, broadcast engineering, loudspeaker and audio system design, and consumer audio product development.

In our increasingly busy world, managing unwanted noise is a growing and significant problem. You might choose to use the knowledge and skills developed on the course in a consultancy context, by working with organisations to solve environmental noise challenges.

Many of our acoustics graduates have progressed into senior roles in acoustics consultancy, research, development, and audio design. Today, you will find our alumni working at Apple, Dolby,BBC, plus every major acoustic consultancy in the world.
