| Degree/Award: | Graduate Certificate |
No new admissions into this program.
The Graduate Certificate is designed to give students important skills in key areas of signal processing such as mobile communications, signal analysis, multisensor data fusion, linear systems, adaptive signal processing and image analysis.
Some courses such as Detection, Estimation and Classification, and Signal Synthesis and Analysis are highly mathematical in theory, whereas courses such as Satellite Communications and Mobile Communications have a more practical emphasis. Courses such as Adaptive Signal Processing and Beamforming and Array Processing have a strong engineering emphasis.
The Graduate Certificate is focussed on telecommunications and signal processing, is very challenging and assumes a strong background in maths and/or engineering and/or physical sciences.
Students completing these programs can enhance their career opportunities in research areas such as defence, telecommunications, medical image analysis and computer systems.
Intending students should consult the program coordinator early in the year in which they plan to study to check if particular courses will be available.
Students of the Graduate Certificate are required to complete 12 units of coursework. Some components of this program are available online.
