Music and Acoustic Engineering

The MSc program in Music and Acoustic Engineering forms experts who are able to face technological challenges in the audio, music and acoustics areas. Students learn to make synergistic use of a multi-disciplinary knowledge ranging from computer science to telecommunications, from computational acoustics to numerical modeling/analysis, from electroacoustics to vibrational and room acoustics.

Music and Acoustic Engineering at Politecnico di Milano is an offshoot of Computer Science and Engineering, and its graduates can count on a wide availability of well-payed positions, which is typical of this sector.

Its graduates, however, can capitalize on their strong background in computer science as well as in signal processing and acoustics, which creates opportunities in the areas of musical acoustics, environment acoustics and electroacoustics, depending on the choice of “affine” and complementary courses of their study plan.

Employment statistics

According to official data collected by ISTAT (the Italian National Institute of Statistics), of all graduates of postgraduate Programs in Italy, Information Engineers find a suitable job in the shortest time (within 6 months of graduation as national average, and within 2 months for graduates of the Politecnico di Milano).
