What you should know about the Applied Image and Signal Processing master programme
State of the Art Methodology
The master programme for Applied Image and Signal Processing provides you with a high degree of specialisation. The first year is devoted to a concise study of the theoretical foundations, the mathematical models and the algorithms used in image and signal processing. Those are complemented by an introduction to data science and machine learning, statistics, audio processing, digital media formats, and, in the third semester, computer vision and geometric modelling.
Choose your Elective Courses
Starting with the second year, specific application scenarios are discussed and corresponding technologies are investigated in a number of elective courses. Choose two such courses and complement those by free electives with a total sum of 6 ECTS in the 3rd or 4th semester.
Good to know: While it is recommended to take a third course from the electives, other lectures given in English on one of the two universities also qualify as free electives.
Develop your own Ideas
In the third semester, you also start researching on your master thesis. You will acquire profound skills in scientific research and paper writing as well as in agile project management. The fourth semester, finally, is dedicated to the completion of the master thesis. The accompanying master seminar provides a forum for presenting and defending one‘s approach to a solution and the results obtained, i.e. for scientific discourse with faculty and peers.
Electives
As part of your degree specialisation, you can choose from the following elective courses at two universities:
| Salzburg University of Applied Sciences | Paris Lodron University of Salzburg |
