The Master’s Program in the Department of Design (Acoustic Design Course) at Kyushu University is a two-year postgraduate program that focuses on developing advanced knowledge and research competencies in sound and acoustic design for architectural, environmental, and media applications. The curriculum integrates specialised coursework and studio- or lab-based research in areas such as architectural acoustics, soundscape design, audio engineering, auditory perception, noise control, and interactive sound systems, enabling students to analyse, design, and optimise acoustic environments for functional, aesthetic, and human-centered outcomes. Emphasising research methodology, experimental analysis, and interdisciplinary collaboration, students undertake supervised academic research and complete a Master’s thesis or acoustic design project that contributes to innovations in sound design and auditory experiences, preparing graduates for careers in architectural design, sound engineering, media production, environmental consultancy, and creative industries.
