Telent / LSBU at Angel Tube Station

PhD researchers Louis Gomez and Christos Nestoras ventured, on a Sunday 29th April, down to Angel to test a theory on Low Level Noise Measurements using MLS based signals. There supervisors, Sal Murano and Stephen Dance where present to verify the measurements. All was successful... I can see an international conference paper forming in there minds:)

KTP with Sound Research Laboratories and the Royal Academy of Music Successful

On Friday 27th April a collaborative project between LSBU, Sound Research Laboratories and the Royal Academy of Music was given the go ahead. The project is partially funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, SRL and the Eastern Region Development Agency. The project will develop noise mitigation technologies for classical musicians to meet impending legislation requirements.

Recruiting for 2007/8

The MSc Environmental and Architectural course is recruiting for 2007/8 for both part-time and full-time students. The course starts 25th September 2007.

The course has an emphasis on applied acoustics relevant to practitioners, and provides ideal training for a career in acoustics as a consultant, environmental health officer, environmental engineer, building services engineer or sound engineer.

The MSc comprises eight taught units and a major project, the PgDip includes eight taught units but no major project, the PgCert is four taught units. The taught units include specialist units in measurement and behaviour of sound, subjective and environmental acoustics, noise control, architectural acoustics and environmental space, plus general units on research methods and management.

The major project maybe in any area of acoustics of interest to the student, and is often related to the current university research or acoustic consultants activites in acoustics.

An honours degree in science or engineering, music technology, audio technology, or environmental health, or IoA Dipolma in Acoustics and Noise Control (or relevant life/work skills) Email: dances@lsbu.ac.uk
