The Master of Science in Mechanics of Materials and Structures (MMS) is an official Master’s degree of the European Higher Education Area. The master MMS is aimed at students who wish to develop their knowledge and skills regarding the mechanical behaviour of materials and structures.

The MMS Masters provides the student with the necessary skills to atake up leading roles in analysis, design, research, and development of structures with applicability in a variety of sectors (aerospace, building, race sport, marine, sports goods, civil, mechanical or wind turbine engineering). The MMS master’s classes are performed by teachers with high international recognition in scientific research and technology transfer to the industry.... [-]

This postgraduate course addresses the problem of noise pollution (traffic noise, industrial noise, noise and vibration activities) and study its characterization, measurement, control, legislation and design solutions. During practices on real cases develop from field measurements, simulations or acoustic modeling and laboratory measurements. As in the rest of MAAM courses, students get to have a solid foundation on the subject treated controlled thanks to teachers and group work tracking.

This postgraduate course is aimed at those who:

Acoustic comfort comes to the fore in the field of laws and regulations, embodied in the environmental control system and building, as well as in terms of sound quality referred to interior design of spaces. The module Room acoustics delves into the different fields from a scientific, technical and professional standpoint. The module sound insulation and noise control module complete room acoustics, providing the tools necessary to perform a complete project of architectural acoustics tools.

This postgraduate course is aimed at anyone interested in learning the basis of sound insulation, to develop projects, identify problems, correct pathologies and measurements of in situ verification. To all those who want to know the laws governing the behavior of sound within an architectural space. To design the appropriate acoustical treatment to each specification, solve problems arising from poor design, learn to choose the right materials and know how to measure the acoustic quality of a room....

Sound and music computing is an interdisciplinary field encompassing the entire sound communication process, from the creation and generation of sounds to their transmission and perception.

Using a variety of scientific, technological and artistic methodologies and computational approaches, it examines how we understand, model and generate sound and music. It covers a wide range of basic academic subjects in fields such as music (composition, performance, musicology), physics (acoustics), engineering (signal processing, artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, electronics) and psychology (psychoacoustics, experimental psychology, neuroscience). Current areas of application include musical instruments, music production, music information retrieval, digital music libraries, interactive multimedia systems, and auditory interfaces. The UPF's master's program in Sound and Music Computing focuses on the more technical aspects of the field.... [-]

Master of Water Engineering and Management
