Key Summary
About: The MSc in Music and Acoustic Engineering at Politecnico di Milano trains students in audio, acoustics and music technology. It develops multidisciplinary skills across computer science, telecommunications, computational acoustics, numerical modeling and analysis, electroacoustics, and vibrational and room acoustics. Students learn experimental research methods and technological transfer in a scientific-technological university that links teaching, research and industry.
Career Outcomes: Graduates can work in audio engineering, acoustic consulting, R&D, product design and audio software development. Typical roles include audio engineer, acoustic consultant, audio software developer, R&D engineer, sound designer, and room acoustics specialist. Skills include signal processing, measurement and modeling.
Mission and Goals
The postgraduate program 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.
