Course Description

This course is made available through the eLearnAfrica and Edx partnership.

This engineering course is the continuation of the edX course, “Fundamentals of Communication Acoustics.” Communication acoustics is defined as the way sounds travels from a source, through a channel and finally to a receiver.


In this follow-up course, we will cover a representative set of practical applications and look at the different system components involved in acoustic communication.


Top experts in the field of communication acoustics, all of whom are affiliated with the leading Universities of Technology in Germany, will take you through practical applications for communications acoustics. These include room acoustics, methods for spatial sound capture and presentation, automatic speech recognition, text-to-speech synthesis, product sound design, and perceptual audio coding.


After completion of the course, you will have gained a broad understanding of the involved subdomains. You will be ready to pick a specialization for future in-depth study.

Certificate cost may vary. You will be redirected to the host page for cost and payment options.

Technische Universität München

Technische Universität München (TUM) ranks as one of Europe's leading universities. It placed first among German universities in the International Shanghai Ranking, in both 2011 and 2012, and is one of the few to hold the title of Excellence University. Our researchers are committed to finding solutions to the major challenges facing society: health & nutrition, energy & natural resources, environment & climate, information & communication, mobility & infrastructure. TUM is based in Munich, amid the strongest science and industry network in continental Europe. Our university thinks entrepreneurially and acts globally. It was the first German university to open an international campus abroad: TUM Asia in Singapore. Today, TUM has more than 37,000 students and 511 professors.
