Signal processing techniques are utilised in a wide varietyof electronic devices and softwareapplications; from mobile phones and heart monitors to gaming systems and forensic analysis applications. This NQAI Leval 9 programme is aimed at graduate engineers who would like to continue their studies and learn about signal processing systems and their applications in a range of industries including the digital media and biomedical engineering sectors. It is also aimed at experienced engineers from a variety of backgrounds who wish to move into these exciting and challenging industries.

The programme introduces the fundamentals of digital signal processing (DSP) theory through practical application to audio and image signals. Further insight is gained by implementing signal processing algorithms on industry standard DSP hardware platforms. Specialised option modules are offered in both Biomedical SIgnal Processing and Advanced Audio/Image Processing which draw upon the Institute's extensive research expertise in these domains.

The programme consists of 12 taught modules and a project. Modules are delivered through a mixture of lecture, assignments and laboratory work, e-learning and probelm based learning by academics and industrial experts.
