Music and Acoustic Engineering

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.The M.Sc. offers two tracks:-Acoustic Engineering: emphasis on vibrating and resonant systems-Music Engineering: emphasis on audio and musical information
