Master (MSc) Degree in Digital Image and Signal Processing, University of Manchester, UK
http://www.eee.manchester.ac.uk The Sensing Imaging and Signal Processing (SISP) research group in the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of Manchester is offering a 12 month Master of Science course in Digital Image and Signal Processing. Over the last fifteen years, there has been a major shift in the way signals are acquired and manipulated. Analogue techniques have been replaced by digital modalities and this has revolutionized science. People in the 21st century are familiar with, and intuitively connected to, the digital world. They understand how to use it and to take advantage of its many manifestations. However, only a few understand how it operates, what its limitations are, or indeed how digital systems can be employed in new circumstances, environments and applications. The digital revolution is fundamentally and qualitatively different from all technological revolutions that have gone before. With digital signal and image processing, it is possible to effectively re-write reality, because, just as the currency of the human brain is thought, so the currency of the digital domain is number. This has profound philosophical consequences, not only for science and technology, but for wider society, the manner in which human beings conduct their everyday affairs and the relationships between individuals, organizations and communities. The DISP course is run by the School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering. This School has been, for decades, one of the largest in the UK in the discipline of electrical and electronic engineering. In the latest Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) of 2008, it confirmed its position at the forefront of research in this subject area. In terms of research quality it was ranked 2nd in the UK confirming its world class research reputation. The University of Manchester as a whole was rated 3rd in the UK in terms of research power. The RAE measures the quality of research conducted in universities and other higher education institutions in the UK, against international standards of excellence. Aims and Objectives of the course The course aims to provide a thorough, methodical and wide-ranging education in digital signal and image processing. It provides a rigorous framework for the discipline, and will enable students to become confident in their ability to be technologically creative. Upon successful completion of the course, you will be empowered with knowledge of the latest techniques in digital signal and image processing and will have the confidence to use these skills in a wide variety of application areas. You will become eminently employable and will be able to pursue a very rewarding career in industry, or will be inspired to join some of the worlds top research groups and contribute towards the advancement of this technology with fresh, new ideas.
