Sound and vibration increasingly impact on all of our lives, from listening to music or the intrusion of warning sounds to noise from cars and aircraft. Click here to see an overview or below to visit our research group pages and visit our News page.
Dynamics Group:
In ISVR, our research is focused on the development and experimental
validation of methods to predict structural vibration using a
combination of wave, modal, finite element and hybrid methods.
Human
Sciences Group Hearing and Balance Centre: We strive to improve people's Quality of Life by research in hearing, hearing aids, cochlear implants and balance. |
“Studying acoustics gives a unique and fascinating angle on the broader subject of engineering, one which employers will love ” Toby Park, Acoustical engineering student Educational ProgrammesMany of our academic staff are world leaders in areas such as acoustics, vibration, signal processing and human sciences. Their work provides the practical focus of our programmes. Undergraduate Programmes: Acoustical Engineering, Acoustics & Music, Audiology Postgraduate Taught Courses and Research: Degrees:M.Sc. and Diploma Courses, Audiology, Sound and Vibration Studies, Structural Dynamics, Engineering Acoustics, Automotive Noise and Vibration, Applied Digital Signal Processing Postgraduate research, leading to MPhil, PhD, EngD or DClinP degrees, underpins ISVR’s activities and plays a key role in sustaining our research excellence. Recent developments are the Engineering Doctorate which is a four year programme in which the student spends two years at a sponsoring company, and the Doctor of Clinical Practice for experienced audiologists wishing to develop research and leadership skills. Continuing education short courses: The Institute also hosts an extensive programme of short courses and symposia, which cover a wide range of topics in acoustics, vibration and signal processing. |
