Multimedia is increasingly moving from traditional broadcast and playback systems, such as DVD/Blu-Ray, towards content that is streamed or delivered directly over the network. The MSc Multimedia Networks will equip you with the expertise to contribute in this exciting new world of media delivery. The course will give you hands-on experience with multimedia content production in our broadcast quality studios and then you will take the content that you create and learn to deliver it over the network. The world of multimedia delivery is increasingly becoming more complex and this course will give you the skills and knowledge to understand how multimedia are distributed using content delivery networks and how multimedia is compressed and transcoded for transmission. Supporting modules cover aspects such as modern computer networking and signal processing. The degree prepares graduates to enter employment in a range of roles related to multimedia delivery, including engineering within the broadcast industry and online content providers.
