Course summary

Signal processing and communications provide the theoretical foundations for any application which generates, processes, transmits or stores any type of information. They underpin many of the technological advancements which are currently driving rapid changes in industry, such as artificial intelligence and data science and the Internet of Things. Our MSc programme in Signal Processing and Communications will enable you to contribute to the industries and research that help make our world smarter, healthier, and more sustainable. You will be immersed in the most recent and exciting developments such as:

  • deep learning
  • computational sensing
  • 5G and 6G communication networks
  • numerical Bayesian methods and optimisation.
You will gain an understanding of the theoretical foundations of these subjects, as well as recent advanced topics and how they are applied to solve practical situations. Through the MSc research project, you will demonstrate applications and delve deeper into the underpinning theory by investigating a solution to a real-world signal processing, machine or deep learning, or communication problem. Our programme welcomes applications from both professionals and recent graduates in electronics and electrical engineering, computer science, mathematics, and cognate fields.
