What if sound were much more than something you hear? Turn it into science, technology and impact.
Master the science of sound, audio and vibrations to tackle real-world challenges across industries such as manufacturing, construction, automotive, aerospace, transport and entertainment.
You will learn to tackle complex challenges through simulation, experimentation and artificial intelligence applied to audio. In a practical, international environment, you will have access to the Acoustics Lab and specialised spaces such as the anechoic chamber, reverberation chamber, recording studio and immersive room.
Sound has become a key dimension of technological innovation. It shapes mobility, architecture, industry, digital experience design and the creation of healthier, more efficient and more immersive environments.
With the Master's Degree in Acoustics, Audio and Vibrations at La Salle-URL, you will advance in a field that combines science, engineering and perception to tackle emerging challenges in the sector. The programme connects with trends such as spatial audio, machine listening, sound event detection, acoustic metamaterials, acoustic holography and advanced solutions for reducing noise and vibrations.
Why study at La Salle-URL?
