Acoustics Innovation Institute
The University of Salford hosts one of Europe’s largest acoustics research institutes, with a strong global reputation, and a heritage dating back over 60 years. In 2027, we will be moving into our new £24M Acoustics Building. Our research has advanced understanding, fed into products, and underpin regulations and standards. We host two doctoral training schools: LAURA: The Leverhulme Trust Aural Diversity Doctoral Research Hub and the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Sustainable Sound Futures. We also have a large commercial team who carry out testing and R&D work with industry. We are the UK’s Designated Institute for Airborne Acoustics Metrology.
The EPSRC CDT has just opened applications for fully funded PhD positions for 2027.
