L3 - Professional Bachelor's Degree - Acoustics and Sound Environment (AES)

Sound environment management and noise reduction are a rapidly expanding market with a pool of institutional and private jobs involving expertise, urban and environmental mapping, and the implementation of dedicated noise reduction measures. In recent years, there has been an increase in regulations that require greater consideration of acoustic comfort and thus lower noise levels, which is creating a wealth of job opportunities. Today, 50% of the population says they are affected by noise pollution at work and at home.

The expansion of sound diffusion equipment has taken place over the last few years, mainly due to the reduction in their cost associated with new technologies. Currently, many premises are equipped with permanent devices from the moment they are designed or renovated.

This cross-disciplinary professional degree in acoustics covers sound engineering, broadcasting, sensors and acoustic metrology, acoustic signal processing, room acoustics, and noise pollution, with the use of related software. It covers a wide range of existing and future jobs without interfering with Master's and Engineering programs that are more focused on design and research. The need for field personnel trained in all of the above-mentioned aspects, without placing too heavy a financial burden on the company, is perfectly suited to our society. Continuing education and the validation of prior learning also make it easier to ensure their social advancement.

The numerous contacts made with manufacturers in the various sectors concerned have enabled us to develop the content of the courses, which remain closely aligned with professional requirements while maintaining a solid foundation.

For example, engineering firms (currently the sector recruiting the most) are actively involved in training: they share their expertise with students by providing some of the teaching, taking on interns, and participating in the development council.

The sustainability of the training program is also ensured through its promotion by professional associations in which the partners play an important role (as administrators or presidents).

The program also draws on the expertise of an acoustics research team and benefits from the latter's industrial exchanges in the sector, which also provides students with career opportunities.
