Teaching
General information
At RWTH Aachen there is no Master course in "Acoustics". All education modules of acoustics are integrated into the Bachelor and Master courses in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology. Please find informationen about admission and registration in the website of the Faculty.
Besieds this, we offer modules for some Bachelor courses in Civil Engineering, in Psychology and in Logopedics.
Students in Physics, Mechanical Engineering, or Architecture can register for acoustics modules according to their course catalogues or they can get information about acceptance of acoustic modules for their curriculum at the Study Councelling offices (Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Architecture).
Courses
Courses are offered in different fields of acoustics. Special emphasis is put on medical acoustics, electroacoustics, psychoacoustics and Acoustic Virtual Reality.
