Overview
What will I do?
- In this Spatial Audio - Micro-credential module at Trinity College Dublin you will attend weekly 2-hour lectures. These will be classroom based due to the significant practical component involving spatial audio loudspeaker systems, microphones, and other tools and software.
- The lectures will include the theory and practice of various spatial audio techniques, using both lecture style presentations, listening sessions with various spatial audio content, and practical, studio-based tutorials.
Why should I take this Micro-credential?
- Spatial audio has seen renewed interest in recent years due to its critical importance in new immersive media such as VR, AR, and 360 video. New immersive cinema surround-sound formats such as Dolby Atmos have also recently been adopted by streaming media platforms such as Apple Music, Netflix, among others.
- The recording, production, and formatting of spatial audio for these different platforms and applications involve a range of different audio techniques such as binaural and ambisonics, which are significantly more complex and fundamentally different from standard two-channel stereo.
- Our Micro-credentials are all CPD approved by Engineers Ireland
Programme Structure
Courses include:

- Finally, the use of spatial audio techniques for acoustics analysis and engineering will also be examined using a variety of practical examples.
