Teaching Preparation for 20/21

The Acoustics Group have implemented plans to deliver teaching in 20/21 using a hybrid model. Lectures will be on-line / experiments at home/labs. Students will be given kit (not to keep) to undertake experiments at home using the ARTA measurement system, as well borrowing Class 1 sound level meters for environment assessments. In addition, a few laboratories will be run at Uni at monthly intervals to cover specialist areas and run in accordance with current government guidance. We hope to see you after the summer break - one way or another!
