Sound and vibration are a fundamental part of our daily lives. Sight and hearing deliver our mainstream of information from the outer world. The discipline of acoustics has primarily developed over the past 150 years and is today a research subject with numerous subdisciplines. These are grouped around the fundamentals of acoustics, which include wave generation and wave propagation in different media, but also have connections to Earth sciences, Life sciences, Art and Engineering.
Do you want to study the doctrine of sound in depth? As a doctoral student in the graduate school of Technical Acoustics, you will learn to create and preserve healthy and sustainable environments and to support the development of products and services with suitable sound and vibration properties. The graduate school has a strong focus on promoting the interdisciplinary character of the field. Read more in the study plan.
The graduate school is organised within the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering.
