      The goal Introduction to principles and concepts of acoustical measurement techniques. Acquiring knowledge and qualification for applying measurement techniques in various subfields of acoustics.
      The outcome Acquiring knowledge and skills that enable PhD students to independently carry out standard and advanced (modern) acoustical measurements, design new measurements in accordance with requirements, perform analysis and find potential problems of the acoustical measurements and their solutions.
