2 Acoustics PhD Degree Programs

Acoustics is a branch of the science of physics that focuses on waves of sound as they interact with objects, people and structures. Students may learn about amplifying sound waves, diminishing or abating noise using scientific methods or the use of underwater acoustics.

Requirements for the PhD program often involve the student having already obtained a Master’s degree. Additionally, a thesis or dissertation primarily consisting of original academic research must be submitted. In some countries, this work may even need to be defended in front of a panel.
