Master Mecanique — Acoustique

Tuition fees are 292 USD per year.

Master Mécanique — Acoustique, offered by Sorbonne Université in Paris, France, is a two-year master's program within the broader discipline of mechanics. Mechanics studies how forces act on matter and how objects and systems move, deform, or remain at rest, drawing on mathematics and physics to model behavior in solids, fluids, and structures. Students in mechanics programs typically study continuum mechanics, differential equations, numerical methods, and applied physics, building tools used across engineering and scientific research. This track focuses on acoustics, the study of sound: how it is generated, how it propagates through air, water, or solid materials, and how it can be measured, analyzed, and controlled. Coursework in acoustics commonly includes wave propagation, vibration analysis, signal processing, and the design of systems for noise control, room and building acoustics, or audio and ultrasound applications. Graduates with training in mechanics and acoustics often work in industries such as aerospace, automotive, construction, and audio technology, where noise and vibration performance matters, as well as in research laboratories studying wave phenomena. Some move into environmental noise consulting or into the development of medical ultrasound and sensing devices. Others continue toward doctoral research in applied physics or mechanical engineering. The program is taught in French, runs over two years, and carries a yearly tuition of 250 EUR, with the academic year expected to start in September. Applicants typically come from backgrounds in physics, applied mathematics, or mechanical engineering, since the coursework assumes comfort with mathematical modeling and physical reasoning.
