Recently, digital technology and computing have revolutionised the way we access and enjoy information, whether it is for business, security, personal use or entertainment. The delivery of multimedia content to consumers relies on many layers of sophisticated signal engineering that can process images, video, speech and audio. The core modules in our MSc Multimedia Technology and Systems programme cover the fundamentals of how to represent speech, audio, image and video information digitally, including processing, coding and compression techniques. An important aspect of the programme is the software architecture of such processes, which is complemented by options to study communications systems and audiovisual technology in greater detail. Signal processing is at the heart of all multimedia systems. Our MSc Multimedia Signal Processing and Communications programme explains the algorithms and intricacies that surround the transmission and delivery of audio and video content. Particular emphasis is given to networking and data compression, in addition to the foundations of pattern recognition. One of the prime challenges in the information age is finding the right data to match what you are looking for. Our MSc Signal Processing and Machine Intelligence programme examines ways that man-made systems have developed to extract relevant information from digital data streams. Along with a basis of image and audio processing, it provides a grounding in artificial intelligence with related elements that include, for example, voice recognition and neural networks.
