MSc Image and Video Communications and Signal Processing

This challenging programme covers a range of advanced topics in multimedia signal processing and communications. These include the properties and limitations of modern communication channels and networks, alongside the coding and compression methods required for efficient and reliable wired and wireless audio-visual transmission. It provides an excellent opportunity to acquire the skills you will need for a career in one of the most dynamic and exciting fields in information and communications technology (ICT).
The programme builds on the research strengths of the Visual Information Laboratory and the Communication Systems and Networks Group within the Faculty of Engineering at Bristol. Both groups are highly regarded for combining fundamental research with strong industrial collaboration. Their innovative research has resulted in ground-breaking technology in image and video analysis, coding and communications. Both groups also offer extensive, state-of-the-art research facilities.
This programme provides in-depth training in design, analysis and management skills relevant to the theory and practice of the communication networks industry. The programme is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology, one of only a handful of accredited programmes in this field in the UK.
