The MSc in Signal Processing and Communications provides graduates and working professionals with a broad training in signal processing and communications, including machine learning and data science. It also offers students an excellent opportunity to work on state-of-the-art research problems in those areas.

Signal processing and communications provide the theoretical foundations for any application which generates, processes, transmits or stores any type of signal. Some practical examples include:

computers and smartphones, and the Internet,
video streaming
autonomous vehicles
wearable sensors
radar and wireless systems
sensor networks
medical images
financial products
Signal processing and communications are key areas underpinning the Internet of Things and machine learning revolutions we are experiencing today.

This one-year programme will immerse students in the most recent and exciting developments in those areas, including advances in modern machine learning techniques. Students will learn about the theoretical foundations of the subjects, as well as about recent advanced topics and how they are applied to solve practical situations. Through the MSc research project, students will solve real-world signal processing and communication problems to demonstrate applications and delve deeper into the underpinning theory. The MSc projects are related to research carried out within the Institute for Digital Communications, often in collaboration with industrial partners and/or other multidisciplinary research centres.
