L3 - Professional License - Acoustics and Sound Environment (AES)

The management of the sound environment and the concern for reducing nuisances constitute a rapidly expanding market with a pool of institutional and private jobs involving expertise, urban and environmental mapping, and the implementation of dedicated devices for their reduction. The last few years have seen an increase in regulations that impose a greater consideration of acoustic comfort and thus require lower noise levels, which constitutes an incubator of jobs. Today, 50% of the population is 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 decrease in cost associated with new technologies. Currently, many premises are, from their conception or their rehabilitation, equipped with permanent devices.

This transversal professional degree in acoustics includes the aspects of sound engineering, diffusion, sensors and acoustic metrology, acoustic signal processing, room acoustics and noise pollution, with the use of associated software. It covers a wide range of existing and future jobs without interfering with the more targeted Master's and Engineer's programs in design and research. The need for people trained in the field in all these aspects mentioned above, without constituting a heavy financial burden for the company, is perfectly suited to our company. Continuing education and the validation of acquired experience also make it easier to ensure their social promotion.

The numerous contacts made with the industrialists of the different sectors concerned have enabled the content of the courses to evolve, remaining as close as possible to the professional demands while keeping a solid foundation.

For example, design offices (currently the sector that recruits the most) actively participate in the training: they provide students with their know-how by teaching part of the course, by taking on trainees, and also by participating in the development council.

The sustainability of the training is also ensured through its promotion through professional groups whose partners have an important place in it (as administrators or presidents).

The training is also based on a research team in acoustics, it benefits from industrial exchanges of the latter in the sector which also allows to offer students opportunities.
