Programme overview
Digital technology and computing have revolutionised the way we access and enjoy information, whether for business, security, personal use or entertainment. The delivery of multimedia content relies on many layers of sophisticated signal engineering that can process images, video, speech and audio.

Signal processing is at the heart of all multimedia systems. Our MSc Multimedia Signal Processing and Communications programme explains the algorithms and intricacies surrounding 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.
