Gain the practical experience, scientific knowledge and engineering skills you'll need to launch your career in music technology and audio systems.
With access to the latest computer design labs, multi-speaker surround sound systems, multimedia studios and an anechoic chamber you’ll be able to explore synthesiser technology, MIDI, audio recording, sampling and digital audio signal processing. You’ll not just learn how this technology is applied in making and recording music, but also use your engineering expertise to design and build the next generation of audio technology.
With individual and group projects at every stage of the degree designed to develop practical, organisational, management and business skills, you'll graduate with the knowledge and skills you’ll need to operate with confidence – as an audio engineer, expert designer, researcher or engineering manager in the exciting field of audio and music technology.
Please note that this course is identical to our BEng Electronic Engineering with Music Technology Systems. You can choose which title you graduate with, based on your own career interests.

Year 1
Year 1 provides you with a grounding in electronic principles, circuits, components, devices and recording studio techniques. There's a strong emphasis on mathematics and computing, including learning the C and Python programming languages. You'll also develop your practical skills, designing and building complete audio products as part of laboratories and group projects.
Core modules
Your modules will cover topics such as:
Engineering Design
Analogue Electronics and Physics
Mathematics
Digital Circuits
Introduction to Programming
Audio Technology
Recording Studio Techniques
Year 2
In Year 2 you'll learn to analyse and design hardware and software systems. You'll study material including acoustics, data structures, algorithms, electromagnetism and Java programming. An advanced construction project gives you the opportunity to apply your skills of design, engineering, problem-solving and project-management.
Core modules
Your modules will cover topics such as:

Year 3
In Year 3 you'll study a range of advanced core and option modules. You can focus on your interests, or investigate a new aspect of electronic engineering. Throughout the year you'll work on a major individual project, using the knowledge and skills you've developed to research and design a solution to an engineering challenge.
Core modules
Your core modules will cover topics such as:
Control
Communication Systems
Principles of DSP
iOS Audio Programming
Multimedia Sound Design
The BEng Individual Project gives you a chance to put the skills and understanding you've developed into practice. You'll undertake an independent project: from specification, through initial feasibility studies, to production and testing. Projects from previous years have included:
radio-controlled ultra-small airplane
programmable environmental chamber
measuring and predicting solar output
magnetic biosensors for future medicine
visual tuning feedback for choirs
an electronic Alethiometer
Many of the projects on offer are closely aligned to our current research, giving you the chance to work alongside world-class academics at the forefront of the field.
Option modules
Option modules may include:
Digital Communication Systems
Mobile Communication Systems
State Space and Digital Control
Cloud and Distributed Computer Systems
Accounting and Finance
