Entry requirements
PhD: The normal minimum entrance requirement is an upper second class honours degree or master's degree, relevant to the proposed area of study, from a recognised higher education institution in the UK. You should also have experience of academic research in the previous four years, normally in the form of either a master's degree in research methods, an undergraduate degree with a research element in the final year, or work-related experience with evidence through research reports. If you're not sure if you meet the entry requirements, please contact us (research-degrees-team@open.ac.uk). MPhil: see http://www3.open.ac.uk/study/research-degrees/ for more information.
Course description
Environmental acoustics research carried out by the Acoustics Research Group includes work on improving the prediction of sound propagation outdoors, producing more effective noise barriers, increasing understanding of acoustic-to-seismic coupling mechanisms, and measuring the acoustic impedance of porous materials. The research is carried out by PhD students working individually or in collaboration with the group's other PhD students, postdoctoral researchers and academic staff. Potential research projects Projects in all of the above areas are possible. Also, please approach us if you are interested in another topic that remains within the broad interests of the research group. Potential supervisors - Professor Keith Attenborough - Dr David Sharp - Dr Shahram Taherzadeh
