Audio Communication and Technology (M.Sc.)

About

Music and language can be communicated via acoustic, electro-acoustic, and electronic systems. The Audio Communication and Technology master's program provides students with the technical knowledge and methods needed to analyze acoustic and medial communication processes in all their technical, psychological, artistic, and social aspects. Students studies include metrology and room acoustics, the development of electro-acoustic systems and facilities and the analysis of individual and social reception of language and music through empirical methods. Technical tools and artistic concepts for designing and performing acoustic media art (electro-acoustic music, computer music, sound art) are another area of focus. The program qualifies students for further academic studies in this field as well as for planning and consulting roles related to acoustics and electro-acoustics, software development to process and shape music and language, for media companies, or medial market research.

As multiple Faculties contribute to teaching the study program, students gain technical skills in the areas of language and communication, empirical and numerical methods of technical acoustics, psychoacoustics, digital signal processing and metrology, qualitative and quantitative methods, music informatics, music and media psychology, and acoustic media art. Your interdisciplinary background enables you to address complex issues using a broad repertoire of appropriate methods. You are able to conduct scientific work in a reflective manner, assess such work critically, and apply it to the market.

Requirements

Entry Requirements

The formal admission requirement for the Audio Communication and Technology masters study program is a first university degree in natural science, engineering, humanities, social science, business, or law, or in an artistic-scientific discipline or an equivalent teacher training degree. You must additionally have a good knowledge of higher mathematics (analysis, linear algebra) at the introductory lecture level of a natural science or engineering study program (at least 10 credits) as well as of a programming language or computer algebra system. These can be proven by previous study units or the equivalent.

The Audio Communication and Technology masters program is taught in German. If you are applying with a foreign school-leaving certificate, you must provide proof of German skills at a specific level. This is a prerequisite for admission.

As a majority of the technical literature as well as several courses are in English, you must be able to submit proof of English skills at B2 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
