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

Studying within our School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering provides both the recent graduate and the practising engineer with the opportunity to gain new skills or enhance existing ones. Our MSc courses, in addition to providing advanced training, also form a natural progression to postgraduate research. Our graduates have progressed to a variety of senior positions in industry and academia. Some of the companies and organisations where our former graduates are now employed include: Electronic Data Systems, Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, Bank of Mexico, Visa International, Hyperknowledge (Cambridge), Hellenic Air Force, ICSS (Beijing), United Microelectronic Corporation (Taiwan) and within our University.
