Program Description

MISSION AND GOALS

The postgraduate programme in "Music and Acoustic Engineering" forms experts and designers who are able to face consolidated as well as emerging technological challenges in the audio, music and acoustics areas:
  • audio: acquisition/capturing, processing, analysis, synthesis, reconstruction/rendering, classification, storage, organization, representation and publishing;
  • acoustics: analysis; control; characterization; improvement, optimization and design of musical instruments, of listening environments and vibrational systems in general.
  • music: analysis; classification; annotation; transcription; organization; modeling and representation; visualization; assistance to composition, orchestration, arrangement and production.
In order to do so, students learn to make synergistic use of a multi-disciplinary knowledge ranging from computer science to telecommunications, from computational acoustics to numerical modeling/analysis, from electroacoustics to vibrational and room acoustics.

SUBJECTS

The M.Sc. offers two tracks:
  • Acoustic Engineering: emphasis on vibrating and resonant systems
  • Music Engineering: emphasis on audio and musical information
Mandatory coursesArea Audio and Acoustic Signal ProcessingMultiMedial Signal Processing, Digital Audio Analysis and Processing, Sound Synthesis and Spatial Processing, Computer Music: Representations and Models, Computer Music: Languages and Systems.Area Electronics and ElectroacousticsElectronics for Sound Engineering, Electroacousitics for Sound Engineering.Area Creative ComputingAdvanced coding tools and methodologies, Creative programming and computing, Music Production Technologies.Area Computational AcousticsFundamentals of Acoustics, Numerical Modelling and Simulation of Acoustics, Fundamentals of Vibration Analysis and Vibroacoustics, Musical Acoustics, Room Acoustics.

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

"Music and Acoustic Engineering" is an offshoot of Computer Science and Engineering, and its graduates can count on a wide availability of well-payed positions, which is typical of this sector. Its graduates, however, can capitalize on their strong background in computer science as well as in signal processing and acoustics, which creates opportunities in the areas of musical acoustics, environment acoustics and electroacoustics, depending on the choice of “affine” and complementary courses of their study plan.
