Overview

About the degree programme

If you're fascinated by the interplay of science, technology and music, BSc Acoustics and Music Technology is for you.

Equipping you to invent the future of acoustics, audio and music technology, our interdisciplinary programme brings together:

Our acoustics and music technology programme supports you in designing the music tools, spaces and software of tomorrow, developing your scientific skills and creative mindset.

Throughout the programme, you will explore how modern technologies are driving a revolution in the way that sound is:

manipulated

transmitted

Acoustics and music technology has an expanding range of creative applications, including:

music production

the design of concert halls

the emerging field of immersive virtual reality

You learn how innovation in the sector is allowing for rapid development in next generation methods for:

sound synthesis

transformation in the way we design and experience the built environment

the emergence of wholly new forms of media

Discover what it's like to study BSc Acoustics and Music Technology from our staff and students.

How long it takes to complete this degree programme

This programme is studied over 4 years.

A key benefit to studying a 4-year degree programme is that you have the flexibility to study a range of subjects, outside your chosen degree programme, in Year 1 and Year 2.

This allows you the opportunity to study other courses that interest you or enhance your degree. By the end of Year 2, you can decide which of these subject areas you want to focus on in the honours years of your programme.

Programme benefits

You will gain a thorough understanding of acoustics and music technology.

This degree places you in a very strong position for a high-level career in acoustics, audio, music technology, or game sound.

You will also be equipped for a career in science and technology or computer science more generally.

We offer a unique blend of science and music, producing scholars who are able to bring scientific and technical insights into music, and musical insights into science and technology.

You will have a fun and practical engagement with physics and mathematics, which you will be able to apply to your music studies.

You will join a rich community of practising musicians in the Reid School of Music and of creative artists, designers, filmmakers, animators and many more in the wider Edinburgh College of Art.

I absolutely loved the combination of mathematics, physics, and music technology offered in the degree. The Reid School of Music has been a fantastic place to study, with incredibly friendly and interesting students and staff, and tons of extra-curricular opportunities that we could take part in.

Tuition fees for this programme

Additional costs

This programme has no compulsory additional costs beyond the tuition fees.

ECA provides a wide range of technical sound equipment, sound studios, and software, to support your learning. There is also bookable access to good quality open-access computers, and a smaller number of laptops are available for loan through central University services. The core software we use in teaching comes without the requirement to purchase a license to use it in an educational context.

If you choose to take music performance courses within your programme of study, you will need to pay for any costs associated with the maintenance and ongoing use of your instrument (such as replacing strings, new mouthpiece reeds for woodwinds, and so on).

Some students may prefer to own and use their own laptop computer for writing and other computer-based activities (Mac or Windows, according to personal preference) and wired closed back headphones (such as Audio-Technica M40x/M50x or Beyerdynamic DT770). However, this is not a compulsory requirement, and it is possible to complete the degree without incurring such additional costs.

Accommodation and living costs

You will need to pay for your accommodation and living costs (such as rent, food and utility bills) for the duration of your programme.

For 2026-2027, we estimate that it will cost an average of £1,546 each month to live in Edinburgh as a single undergraduate student. This equates to £13,914 for a 39-week academic year and £18,552 for a full year.

The exact amount you spend will depend on different factors, especially the accommodation you choose.
