Program Overview

Program Overview

The Master's Degree in Music and Acoustic Engineering is a two-year program totaling 120 credits (ECTS). The primary objective of this Master's program is to train experts and designers with a deep understanding of solving problems related to audio, acoustics, and music.

Program Structure

The program is structured into two years, with the first year focusing on consolidating knowledge typical of Computer Engineering applied to acoustics, audio, and music. The second year offers in-depth courses specific to the chosen educational path. Two paths are available: one focusing on acoustics (from the vibrational, acoustic, and timbral behavior of musical instruments to the acoustics of listening environments, computational acoustics, sound, and vibrations in general), and one focusing on music informatics, sound processing, and technologies for music production.
