Mu­si­c Acou­stics, M. Sc.

In this con­sec­ut­ive Mas­ter's pro­gram, ba­sic know­ledge of acous­tics and sig­nal pro­cess­ing can be deepened for ap­plic­a­tion in the field of "Mu­sic Acous­tics". Gradu­ates can de­vel­op and ap­ply en­gin­eer­ing meth­ods for the in­vest­ig­a­tion and op­tim­iz­a­tion of mu­sic­al in­stru­ments and rooms for mak­ing mu­sic. In ad­di­tion to lec­tures, ex­er­cises, and prac­tic­al courses, ex­cur­sions to in­stru­ment makers and as­so­ci­ated in­sti­tu­tes are also part of the course of study. The con­struc­tion of a mu­sic­al in­stru­ment and the teach­ing of meth­ods of sci­en­tif­ic work are the main fo­cus of the 2 to 4-semester course.

Doc­tor­ate “Mu­sic Acous­tics“

As a fur­ther qual­i­fic­a­tion pos­sib­il­ity, the Erich-Thi­en­haus-In­sti­tut of­fers the pos­sib­il­ity of a doc­tor­ate of " Mu­sic Acous­tics". Pre­re­quis­ite for par­ti­cip­a­tion in this course of stud­ies is pri­or oc­cu­pa­tion with­in the sub­ject "Mu­sic­al Acous­tics," and ba­sic train­ing in a mas­ter's de­gree pro­gram with an em­phas­is on acous­tics. Of­ten the doc­tor­ate is linked to a re­search pro­ject which provides a frame­work for a three-year em­ploy­ment op­por­tun­ity.

In­for­ma­tio­n about the reg­u­la­tions, re­cords of study and cur­ricula as well as in­struc­tions how to ap­ply and which spe­cif­ic­a­tions are re­quired are found in the sec­tions „pro­gram doc­u­ments“ and „ap­plic­a­tion“ for both pro­grams on the web page of Det­mold Uni­versity of Mu­sic: ger­man / eng­lish. The dates for the aptitude tests are found here.
