14 Short courses offered by the university

In this Immersive Sound Reproduction course at the University of Salford you will develop an understanding of transducer systems for the capture and reproduction of 3D sound.

In the Principles of Acoustics module at the University of Salford, you will get a core grounding in acoustics, that will form the foundation of your knowledge and support your learning in other taught modules or further study. 

In this Vibro and Aero Acoustics module at the University of Salford, you will gain an in-depth understanding of vibro- and aero-acoustics, and the noise generation and transfer paths and mechanisms they include.

The Measurement, Analysis and Assessment module at the University of Salford aims to equip you with the necessary knowledge to specify and undertake appropriate acoustic measurements, including understanding their limitations, and being able to analyse the data you produce.

During the Loudspeakers and Microphones module at the University of Salford, you will examine the practical application of loudspeaker and microphone systems, and investigate how they are used in arrays e.g. for spatial audio applications.

In the Immersive Sound Reproduction course at the University of Salford, you will develop understanding of the use of transducer systems for the capture and reproduction of 3D sound.

The Psychoacoustics and Human Response course at the University of Salford will allow you to study in depth how the human auditory system works.

In this Research Methods module at the University of Salford, you will devise, design and document a small-scale research project.

In the Computer Simulation for Acoustics module at the University of Salford, you will learn the fundamental principles of computer simulation techniques: geometric room acoustics, finite element method, and boundary element method using COMSOL and related software packages.

The Architectural and Building Acoustics module at the University of Salford introduces you to how sound behaves in enclosed spaces and the core principles that shape acoustic design.

The Environmental Noise module at the University of Salford will develop your ability to interpret and apply current environmental noise legislation, guidance, and best practice based on client requirements.

In the Spatial Audio module at the University of Salford you will develop a systematic understanding of spatial audio systems, human perception of sound and research methods used to evaluate spatial audio.

In this Computational Methods in Acoustics module at the University of Salford, you'll learn the fundamentals of architectural and building acoustics.

In the Environmental Noise Measurement and Modelling module at the University of Salford, you will carry out measurement and modelling of environmental noise using appropriate sound measuring instrumentation and modelling capabilities.
