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 change in industry, such as data science, deep learning, and the Internet of Things. Our MSc in Signal Processing and Communications will enable you to contribute to the industries and research that will help make our world smarter, healthier, and more sustainable. You will be immersed in the most recent and exciting developments such as: deep neural networks compressive sensing wireless communication theory numerical Bayesian methods. 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 and communication problem.
