Engineering Acoustics MSc Eng programme
“Sound technology is increasingly important in our society, and it is present in almost every aspect of our lives."
Helping society
Engineering Acoustics is an exciting research area covering a wide range of topics related to sound, hearing, and vibration.
Acoustic engineering helps society by creating healthy acoustic environments and reducing harmful environmental noise. It enables to assist the hearing impaired, to design innovative architectural spaces, as well as to improve the sound quality delivered by loudspeakers and communication devices. Also, acoustic signals and audio processing are essential in the age of big data and artificial intelligence.
Sound technology is increasingly important in our society, and it is present in almost every aspect of our lives.

Alumni statements
Martin Bo Møller Research Specialist,
Bang & Olufsen A/S (Denmark)
Richard McWalter
Postdoc, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT (USA)
"The Engineering Acoustics programme gave me a deep and holistic understanding of acoustics. The education combining electroacoustics, sound fields in rooms, and human perception has been invaluable to my research in future audio technologies at Bang & Olufsen."
“The MSc in Engineering Acoustics is a great education that gives a solid background in acoustics and hearing science, opening up for exciting career paths. My work at Oticon Medical is a great opportunity for me to better understand how people perceive sounds and how we can best help patients with a hearing loss.”
"The Engineering Acoustics MSc Eng programme at DTU combines courses in acoustics and sound perception, which is quite unique. This wonderful programme offered me a strong foundation to pursue a career in academia."
Théo Auclair Apple Inc. (USA)
"DTU's Engineering Acoustic MSc programme is well-known internationally, as it covers a wide area of topics in acoustics in great depth. The MSc was a fantastic stepping stone towards an international career in audio and acoustic engineering. I currently work on the development of cutting edge audio technologies in the USA."
Federica Bianchi Clinical Scientist, Oticon Medical (Denmark)
