Description
In this course the student will systematically get acquainted with basic concepts of speech acoustics, such as frequency, resonance, filtering, tones and formants, using different sound illustrations. In laboratory exercises the student will get an illustration about various acoustic and perceptual aspects of sound and train skills in the ability to interpret sound spectrograms. Students will familiarize themselves with the relationship between the emergence of the speech signal and the reaction to it by the ears and the nervous system. Focus is equally on both: segmental and prosodic factors of spoken language and speech.

How to apply
Lund University uses a national application system run by University Admissions in Sweden. It is only possible to apply during the application periods: October–January for autumn semester and June–August for spring semester.
Extended application deadline
Sometimes the application deadline is extended for a specific programme or course. In these cases you will find the message "open for late application" by the programme/course information on universityadmissions.se. You apply with the usual application steps. As long as this message is showing, it is possible to apply, but late applications are processed in order of date, so it is still important to apply as soon as possible. Please note that if the programme/course does not have an extended deadline, it is not possible to apply late.
First or Second Admission Round?
All international students are encouraged to apply to the First admission round. This round takes place many months before the start of a semester and gives students the time they need to pay their tuition fees, apply for and receive their residence permit (if required), find housing, etc.
The Second admission round is an alternative for students from EU/EEA countries as they do not need a residence permit. Non-EU/EEA students will most likely not have enough time to obtain their permit before the start of the semester. However, even EU/EEA students are advised to apply during the First admission round, as some programmes can be applied for only in the January round. Also, this provides applicants with an admission decision much earlier, which is helpful in making decisions about their studies.
Tuition Fees
