Description

The Master’s degree in Acoustics is a two-year graduate programme offered by the Université de Lyon, in the framework of the Centre Lyonnais d’Acoustique, a partnership between the main research teams working in acoustics in Lyon. The programme is coordinated by the Ecole Centrale de Lyon and Polytech-Lyon (the engineering school of the Université Lyon 1), in collaboration with the Insa-Lyon and the ENTPE.

A comprehensive and varied programme

The Master’s degree in Acoustics offers training in many areas of acoustics such as sound perception and sound quality, medical ultrasound, aeroacoustics, vibroacoustics, notably with application to air and ground transportation systems. The training is based on theoretical, numerical and experimental approaches, including projects conducted in our partner research laboratories, and a semester-long placement in an academic laboratory or in a research and development department (R&D) in industry.

Prestigious partners, renowned expertise

The Master’s degree in Acoustics is backed by 4 internationally recognized engineering schools, 9 research laboratories of the Université de Lyon and CeLyA, a partnership between the main research teams working in acoustics in Lyon.
This training programme, is recognized by major industrial groups, consultancy firms and research laboratories worldwide.

International educational experience

The programme is open to students from France and abroad. A significant part of the training involves the gradual acquisition of scientific communication skills in English, especially by offering high-level scientific lectures in English and worldwide internship opportunities. The students enrolled in the Master’s programme also have the opportunity to improve their level in French. Internships can be achieved abroad in order to facilitate your professional integration in an international context.

An individual training path

Numerous elective and specialised courses dealing with various fields in acoustics, vibration and signal processing are offered. These courses are delivered by members of the Centre Lyonnais d’Acoustique (CeLyA) but also by industrial partners.
The Master’s programme can also be followed as continuing education.
The engineering students from the Ecole Centrale de Lyon, Polytec-Lyon, INSA-Lyon, ENTPE and ECAM, may apply to the M2 year as part of their engineering cursus (dual cursus).
Students with a Master of Science, or at least with a first-year M1, in Mechanics, Physics and Mechanical engineering can also apply directly for the second year of the programme.
