Acoustics & SoundscapesÌýin teaching
The Acoustics & Soundscapes MSc is embedded in our teaching at the UCL Institute for Environmental Design and Engineering. Researchers from our theme contribute to the teaching of our MSc programmes and supervise dissertations for students who wish to undertake their own research in the area of acoustics & soundscapes. Examples of past dissertation topics include:
- 'Effects of COVID-19 pandemic driven lockdowns on urban soundscapes'
- 'The relevance between the sound sources and the mood of passer-by in various types of open environments'
- 'Comparison of machine learning algorithms for predictive modeling of Soundscape Pleasantness and Eventfulness'
