Master of Science in Acoustics

The Master of Science in Acoustics degree is a two-year program in partnership with the Centre Lyonnais d’Acoustique (LabEx CelyA, an alliance between the primary acoustics research teams in Lyon), spearheaded by École Centrale de Lyon in collaboration with ENTPE and INSA Lyon .

This master’s degree in acoustics aims to transform students into industry leaders, academic lecturers, and researchers who will work in the area of acoustics or vibrations at an international level .

Students receive education in acoustics applicable to industry and research. From this, students will be able to consider and solve industrial acoustic problems and, more specifically, be capable of delving into research and development issues. Besides a specialist knowledge of acoustics, this requires a general knowledge of the fundamentals of mechanical engineering to fully understand problems in all their complexity.

At the same time, the program will instill in students an industrial awareness and a high level of scientific communication, especially in the English language , thereby opening the door to a professional career in departments for design or research and development in international companies or university laboratories.

École Centrale de Lyon is one of the top 10 engineering schools in France. There are more than 3,000 students from over 50 nationalities, in the engineering science degree, our Master's degrees, and our doctoral programs. Our educational programs are founded on the excellence of our research laboratories, with 6 CNRS-accredited laboratories, 2 international laboratories, 6 international research networks, and 10 joint laboratories with industrial partners.

Our mission: ‘To instill general engineers with a solid scientific and technical background along with a broad world view and the ability to adapt to changing and multi-cultural environments’. Our students will excel in the sciences. They will put them into practice through an open education approach (directed study in labs, practical work, study projects, skills-based approach, internships) and through the teaching of human and social sciences, which are essential for personal development and workplace life.

The energy to embark on new ventures, the strength to act boldly, and the courage and desire to always strive to go further guide our students in their journey to become curious engineers, trained in other fields, and active participants in their own futures.

This is made possible thanks to the many partnerships we have developed with schools and universities in France and abroad. ENISE, which became our institute’s first internal school, is also part of this openness. New opportunities arise every year: from architecture to management, from cooking to craftsmanship, and from pure research to medicine, students have many ways to expand their knowledge.

Businesses are involved at every level of education, ensuring that teaching is tailored as closely as possible to their expectations and to the scientific and societal challenges ahead.

In the wings, the lecturer-researchers and staff contribute to Ecole Centrale de Lyon’s transformation by bringing projects to life. This collaborative dynamic drives us to redesign the institute to offer our students an advantageous environment for these projects, meeting the highest international standards.

New spaces for education, meetings, and research, with an emphasis on intercultural exchanges, easier access to new technologies, and the preservation of our exceptional living environment are just some of the challenges to which we are rising.
