Orther Requirement
Subject-specific requirements: Your qualification should be in engineering, although other numerate subjects such as mathematics, physics or computing will also be considered. You may also be considered for the course if you have other professional qualifications or experience of equivalent standing.
Digital signal and image processing lies at the heart of modern society. We all use mobile phones, watch digital TV and may soon ride in automated vehicles guided by embedded vision systems.
All these technologies rely on signal processing methods and specialised hardware. This MSc gives you the specialised knowledge and skills needed in modern digital technology.
This course is for you if you have an undergraduate degree in Engineering, or if you’re a practising engineer. You’ll study in a dedicated MSc laboratory, utilising specialised hardware and software.

Options
Alongside your core modules, you can choose options to broaden your horizons and tailor your course to your interests.
While it’s our aim for students to take their preferred combinations of options, this can’t be guaranteed and will be subject to timetabling. Options may be grouped and if so, students will be able to choose a set number of options from the selection available in any particular group.

MSc project
You’ll complete a substantial MSc project, which is often practical as well as theoretical. You may have opportunities to work with an industrial partner.
Some of our previous students’ project work has led to journal and conference publication, giving them a head start in their careers.
The project allows you to develop your skills as an engineer and will involve:
an in-depth study of an advanced topic in digital signal or digital image processing
further development of your critical awareness, creative thinking and project planning skills
enhancing your ability to describe complex technical issues clearly and concisely
developing your presentation skills to effectively communicate your work and ideas to senior colleagues within an organisation.
As a graduate, you’ll have the skills for a career in areas such as:
mobile and satellite telecommunications (where large industry players include Samsung, Vodaphone, Nokia and Arm Holdings)
aerospace (where large industry players include Airbus, Rolls-Royce and GE)
automotive (where large industry players include Jaguar, BMW and Continental)
defence and security (where large industry players include BAE Systems, QinetiQ and Thales)
healthcare (where large industry players include Siemens and GE).
The MSc is also an ideal entry point for doctoral research in the field of digital signal and image processing.
