MSc in Internet Signal Processing

Internet Signal Processing is an exciting new field, which covers all applications of Digital Signal Processing to the Internet (and vice versa). This Masters Degree is the first of its type in the United Kingdom and and is intended for graduates who wish to enhance and specialise their skills in DSP while aiming to apply these skills to Internet-related problems and projects. The programme of study responds to a skills shortage in industry for digital technologists able to meet the demands of the real-time Internet.

Graduates of the programme will understand both the Signal Processing and Web technologies involved in storing, indexing and delivering content-rich and real-time media over wired and wireless Internets. This is of importance to Infrastructure Companies, Service & Content providers to companies involved in the Broadcast, New Media and Multimedia industries, as well as in Intelligent Information Retrieval and Digital Libraries.

This programme provides a core knowledge of basic DSP theory and the fundamentals of the Internet. The taught modules are fully supported with computing and laboratory work using state-of-the art DSP hardware and software to provide the students with hands-on experience of DSP development and design.

Since 2007 this programme has also been available to study via distnace learning.
