DOCTORAL DEGREE STUDY PROGRAMME
Acoustics

The study in this program is subjected to tuition fees charged.

The Doctoral degree study programme in Acoustics is an interfaculty programme implemented at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering.

Features

  • The study programme focuses on the significant part of the broad field of acoustics where the area of instruction depends on the faculty or the workplace selected by the students.
  • The study programme responds to the need for top specialists in the respective field who are proficient in modern research and development methods, including up-to-date measurement modelling methods.
  • The study will provide education in all the necessary branches of the Doctoral student’s specialization, which are physical disciplines (including the necessary mathematical apparatus), technical disciplines (electrical, mechanical, materials, civil and architectural engineering) as well as non-technical disciplines (namely in the field of physiology, psychology and phonetics).
  • The topics of dissertations can be chosen from those offered by individual faculties or are customized on an individual basis as agreed at the supervisors’ workplaces.

Leading experts with “hands-on” experience

The graduates of the Doctoral degree study programme in Acoustics will be able to engage in individual as well as team research in the field of the measurement technology and software applications used for research, development and diagnostic purposes in various areas within the branch. The graduates will be able to communicate the results of their work to a wider professional public, both in the form of scientific articles and presentations or research reports.

The graduates will gain knowledge and experience in the following areas:

  • physical acoustics and non-linear acoustics,
  • electro-acoustics and audio technology, acoustic and electro-acoustic measurements,
  • modern methods of signal processing and analysis and advanced data processing methods, modelling methods suitable for different areas of acoustics (FEM, BEM, raytracing, etc.),
  • materials science branches with a focus on the materials applied in mechanical and civil engineering,
  • building and spatial acoustics,
  • physiology and psychology of sound perception and advanced voice technologies.

CAREER PROSPECTS

The graduates of the Acoustics programme will readily find employment e.g.:

  • in the academic sphere and other institutions involved in research, development and innovations, both in the Czech Republic and abroad (at universities, in medical care, in institutes of the Czech Academy of Sciences),
  • in development centres of large multinational corporations in the field of mechanical, civil or electrical engineering,
  • as managers, methodologists or in other positions in specialized companies and laboratories involved in research and development in the field of electro-acoustics and acoustic diagnostics,
  • in state administration and private firms specializing in building and spatial acoustics, noise, vibrations and public health, or as consultants in these areas.
