University of Vigo – School of Telecommunication Engineering (Sound and Image track)
Vigo, SpainPOTENTIAL — not yet offered / not confirmed
🟢 Strong, broad acoustics coverage: several 3rd/4th-year acoustics courses are English-taught or English-friendly (Room Acoustics, Advanced Acoustics, Noise Measurement, DSP)
English-taught programme: Bachelor in Telecommunication Technologies Engineering (BTTE, English itinerary) at the School of Telecommunication Engineering, with a Sound and Image specialisation in years 3-4. Years 1-2 are taught almost entirely in English; in years 3-4 only some courses are in English and the rest are labelled #EnglishFriendly (taught in Spanish/Galician, with English materials, tutoring and exams on request).
Potential matches only. This partner currently has no HMU Music Technology and Acoustics students / no recognised courses. The matches below are an indicative assessment by the IRO, based on the partner’s published English programme vs the HMU Music Technology and Acoustics study guide. They must be evaluated and approved by the departmental academic coordinator before any agreement is used.
| Partner course / module (ECTS) | Possible HMU equivalent (ECTS) | Fit | Offered | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Digital Signal Processing (V05G306V01205) (6) 2nd year, mandatory. Verified English-taught in 2026-27 guide. Signals and systems in time, frequency and Z domains, filters, poles/zeros, DSP software labs. | → | Digital Signal Processing Ψηφιακή Επεξεργασία Σήματος (7) | strong | W |
| Room Acoustics (V05G306V01330) (6) 3rd year, optional. Listed as English in the school's English-taught PDF; the 2026-27 guide shows #EnglishFriendly with Spanish also listed, so confirm the actual teaching language with the school. Sound fields in rooms, room-quality parameters, design techniques, also intro to building acoustic insulation (partial overlap with HMU 40). | → | Room Acoustics Ακουστική Χώρων (7) | strong | S |
| Advanced Acoustics (V05G306V01418) (6) 4th year, optional. 2026-27 guide states English. Computational acoustics: FEM and BEM (radiation, diffraction, modal analysis) plus Statistical Energy Analysis for flanking transmission. | → | Finite Elements in Acoustics Πεπερασμένα Στοιχεία στην Ακουστική (6) | strong | W |
| Legislation and Noise Measurement Techniques (V05G306V01419) (6) 4th year, optional. 2026-27 guide states 'teaching will be in English'. Environmental noise measurement, noise and insulation regulations, uncertainty; overlaps the noise-control side of HMU 40, less of its building acoustics design. | → | Noise Control and Building Acoustics Έλεγχος Θορύβου και Κτιριακή Ακουστική (6) | likely | W |
| Fundamentals of Acoustics Engineering (V05G306V01327) (6) 3rd year, optional. NOT English-taught: Spanish with English materials, tutoring and exams on request (#EnglishFriendly). Vibratory systems, wave equation, sound radiation and propagation, transducers, loudspeaker and microphone design. Also overlaps HMU 7 and 15. | → | Electroacoustics Ηλεκτροακουστική (6) | likely | W |
| Interactive Audio Systems (V05G306V01331) (6) 3rd year, optional. Not English-taught (Spanish/Galician, #EnglishFriendly: English materials and exams on request). Interactive vs linear sound mixing, perception to UI, game-engine project. ECTS taken from school PDF (guide field blank). | → | Interactive Music Systems Διαδραστικά Συστήματα Μουσικής (6) | likely | S |
| Sound Processing (V05G306V01328) (6) 3rd year, optional. 2026-27 guide shows Spanish with no English-friendly tag, so English delivery is unverified; request English support from the school before choosing it. Speech and audio processing techniques and applications; only a loose match to HMU 32 (could also be read as an applied extension of HMU 19). | → | Multichannel Digital Audio Processing Πολυκάναλη Ψηφιακή Επεξεργασία Ήχου (7) | weak | W |
| Fundamentals of Sound and Image (V05G306V01209) (6) 2nd year, mandatory. 2026-27 guide states English. Introductory course on the nature of sound and image plus basic processing; loose fit to HMU 5 Multimedia Technology (also touches HMU 7). Level is lower than most HMU S5+ courses. | → | Multimedia Technology Τεχνολογία Πολυμέσων (6) | weak | S |
| Design of Audiovisual Installations (V05G306V01334) (6) 3rd year, optional. Not English-taught (Spanish/Galician, #EnglishFriendly; the school's English PDF lists it as English, which conflicts with the 2026-27 guide). Sound capture and reinforcement, image capture, synchronisation, cabling, power, AV networks; only the sound reinforcement part matches HMU 47. | → | Concert Sound Reinforcement Ηχητική Κάλυψη Συναυλιών (6) | weak | S |
