No new admissions into this program.
The Masters program 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 Masters program 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 this programs can enhance their career opportunities in research areas such as defence, telecommunications, medical image analysis and computer systems.
The Masters program is comprised of 36 units including 6 units of project work (up to 12 additional units of enabling courses may be required depending on the exact nature of the applicant’s qualifications - this may extend study by one semester). Students with recognised Honours in maths, physics or electronic engineering are eligible for up to 12 units credit towards this program.
Some components of this program are available online.
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.
