Media Engineering and Technology is one of the most attractive programs for those who want to combine technological skills and media. It aims at the evolving field of nearly all aspects of information and multimedia processing. The curriculum for the specialty "Media Engineering and Technology" is based on the same fundamentals as for information technology, that is, mathematics, physics, electronics, computer science, communications and related methodologies, with specialization and extension to media technologies such as voice, audio and video, multimedia, mediadesign, information search, and presentation concepts.

As a rule the most programs in this fiel offer the following courses: 

• Computer Science and Engineering Program;

• Digital Media Engineering and Technology Program.

There are several reasons, which explain why studying Media Engineering abroad is prospective. Students will experience an international learning environment with the highest standards. Accordingly, they will have a broad education in the relevant fundamentals and will be able to develop: 

• An understanding of the core concepts and highly practical skills of computer science;

• The skills in computer software development and experience in the use of media technology equipment in major areas of application;

• A range of transferable skills including interpersonal communication, independent thinking, problem solving and team working;

• Skills of critical assessment of fundamental technologies underlying multimedia information systems and their development, as well as skills of planning, designing, organizing, implementing and evaluating multimedia information systems using multimedia development tools.

Graduates of the Media Engineering program have excellent chances in development and research in the field of management of media and IT equipment supplier companies, with media content suppliers or any IT department dealing with information management. This program will prepare students for a career working with computer equipment in the fields of multimedia, film, animation, television, music, radio, printing and publishing. The opportunities in these areas are extensive and rapidly expanding. Media engineers develop software, program microprocessors, plan, analyze and control the production or distribution of video signals over the Internet (IPTV). They develop media technologies for new products in the automotive industry or manage projects for the introduction of new communication technologies in commercial enterprises. Employment prospects for graduates are excellent.
