Description
The Diploma and MSc are designed to provide graduates and working professionals with a broad training in signal processing and communications. The taught material includes theoretical foundations as well as advanced topics at the cutting edge of research.
The course will appeal to graduates who wish to pursue a career in a range of industries such as communications, radar, medical imaging and wherever signal processing is applied. It is suitable for graduates who wish to develop the specialist knowledge and skills relevant to this industry and is also suitable as advanced study in preparation for research work in an academic or industrial environment or in a specialist consultancy organisation.
Engineers or other professionals wishing to participate in the MSc programme may do so on a part-time basis.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this course students will be able to identify principles of signal processing and communications, elaborate these principles in scientific and technological terms and be able to consider current limits to, and future priorities for, signal processing and communications.
Contents
The MSc is a full-time twelve-month modular programme starting in September. In the first two semesters, students study compulsory taught courses, which include formal lectures, laboratory demonstrations, and practical exercises. Following instructional classes, MSc students will complete a research project, which will normally be based upon a real-world problem posed by academic staff. The project is reported by a thesis.
