H6S3 MSc Digital Signal Processing (12 months)
This degree is also available as:
- a part-time distance learning degree
Part-time degrees are twice as long as the full-time degree.
This programme is specifically intended to respond to a growing skills shortage in industry for engineers with a high level of training in signal processing, and to support Internet, multimedia, broadcast, communications, and consumer industries. You will develop core knowledge of basic DSP theory and its implementation in hardware. In addition you will be able to specialise in areas including multimedia and intelligent signal processing. The taught modules are fully supported, with computing and laboratory work. The MSc is intended for graduates in a related discipline, who wish to enhance and specialise their skills in the area, and also for industrialists with some experience of working with signal processing in the IT sector, who wish to obtain a formal qualification.
Programme outline
Please note that module availability may vary slightly from year to year.
Assessment
All modules are examined through a combination of coursework and written examinations taken in May/June. To obtain an MSc, students must gain passes in six of the eight modules taken with an overall average of 50 per cent. In addition to the above, the MSc requires that a satisfactory individual project be completed. MSc students who do not pass the written examinations are only allowed to attempt the project after passing resit examinations the following May.
Entry requirements
You should have a first or upper second class degree in Electronic Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related discipline. You should have Java programming experience from your undergraduate degree. Applicants with unrelated degrees will be considered if there is evidence of significant industrial experience. Applicants with lower second class degrees may be considered if the undergraduate degree specialised in relevant subjects. Applicants should also have completed an undergraduate programme in at least one of the following areas: Signal Processing, Control, or Analogue Filters. For international students we require English language qualifications IELTS 6.5, TOEFL (CBT) 237 or TOEFL (written test) 575.
