World-leading technologies don’t make it into a BMW until they’ve undergone one of the most challenging journeys imaginable. It takes dynamic teams with outstanding technical skills to take them from the drawing board to the road. That’s why our experts will treat you as part of the team from day one, encourage you to bring your own ideas to the table – and give you the opportunity to really show what you can do.

We, the BMW Group, offer you an interesting and varied Master thesis in the area of Sound design, with a direct application on Active Noise Control (ANC). State-of-the-art ANC strategies perform very well at low frequencies, in a small portion of space, while it is a great challenge to extend the effectiveness of these technologies in large spaces, at higher frequencies. For these reasons new control strategies need to be analyzed, improved, and tested on real case scenarios.
