About the course

This program provides a foundation in the design, measurement and theory of audio and acoustics, as well as a deep understanding of the way sound shapes our experience of communication, entertainment, and spatial awareness.

　　The program is ideal for audio engineers, architects, interior designers, sustainability designers, music-industry professionals and graduates of the Bachelor of Architecture and Environments who wish to broaden and deepen their expertise.

　　Throughout the program, you will combine aesthetic sound design, new media, sound recording and system design with acoustic engineering, computer modelling and psychology. You will build on a foundational understanding of the broader aspects of design science (including illumination, building services, sustainable design and indoor environment quality), with access to the School?s world-class facilities.

　　A broad range of subjects enables you to choose units on specialised knowledge of audio technology and acoustical science. You can extend your coursework-based learning with a research project, and benefit from a diverse offering of electives in recording and sound production.

　　This program can be taken with a secondary stream in combination with another Architectural Science Program. Please see the Handbook for enrolment advice for secondary stream structure and apply through the specific double specialisation course page. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
