MSc in Communications and Signal Processing

The communication and processing of signals are closely intertwined and together provide the basis of modern information engineering. Areas of application are in telephone, broadcast and computer communication, in robotic vision, audio and video recording, radar and sonar detection, biomedical signal processing, medical imaging and remote sensing. Entry qualifications are normally not less than a first class Honours degree in electrical engineering, or a related subject, from a UK university, or its equivalent.

The course consists of five compulsory lecture modules and three optional modules, chosen by the student from two streams of application-orientated lecture modules one stream being in communication engineering and the other in signal processing.

See the course modules in more detail.
