MSc Digital Signal Processing

Digital Signal Processing is the core technology of almost every modern electronic system. Brain scanners, blu-ray players, automotive control systems, iPods, all rely on DSP. Complex computational processes like seismic analysis and environmental modelling use DSP to interpret vast quantities of data.

The one year full-time taught MSc in Digital Signal Processing equips students to contribute to this exciting and expanding field. It provides a clear and comprehensive understanding of DSP, from theoretical foundations to practical design. It develops knowledge and skills in DSP methods and tools. It draws on the expertise of all the research groups within our department to include state-of-the-art techniques and applications.

The MSc is designed for graduates of programmes in mathematics, engineering, physics or computer science. DSP provides a good route from this wide range of backgrounds to a career in communications, instrumentation, bio-engineering, medical sensing (including imaging), multimedia or an allied electronics field.
