About the course
This course is for professional acousticians who want to build on their basic acoustics knowledge. It's often regarded as a top up qualification if you already have the IOA Diploma in Acoustics.
You can study this course part time, which normally takes at least 18 months or full time, which usually takes just over a year to complete. The course is split into three stages and you gain a qualification after successfully completing each stage, ending with the full masters award once you've completed all three stages.
All of your teaching materials will be available online, and you can take as many modules as you like at any one time, making this course very flexible to fit in with your work commitments. Some modules are delivered through online learning and some are delivered on campus. You'll be assessed through your coursework, which will include practical reports, case study scenarios, essays, and problem solving assignments.
Our academic staff are friendly, supportive and approachable, and they're all experienced acousticians with most having full membership of the IOA.
