Acoustics II

Year 3

For both BEng and MEng Acoustical Engineering students, the third year differs from the previous two years as you will be offered a choice of modules to study alongside the compulsory ones. This allows a degree of specialisation which is carried through to year four for MEng students. In addition, you will be strongly advised to undertake at least 20 weeks of engineering related work placements. This is typically achieved by 10 week placements after your second and third years. (Alternatively you can do a single placement in a gap year after year 2 or 3).

All students also undertake a substantial individual project in year 3. This can either be on a topic selected from a list proposed by teaching staff or it could be an idea of your own, with appropriate permission and guidance. It is expected that you will spend one third of your time in year 3 on your individual project. At the end of year 3 there is an exit award of BEng (Hons) Acoustical Engineering.
