Postgraduate Studies (MSc) Program Digital Media - Computational Intelligence

Programme Overview

Awards available:               MSc

Length:                                18 months

Part-time study available: Yes

Start date:                            Every October

This programme comprises 8 courses distributed evenly between the first two
semesters, followed by a MSc diploma thesis reporting on the outcome of a
substantial research project completed during the third semester. Courses are

taught in English. The programme has been offered for 20 years. It has been
reinstated anew according to the Greek law.

The MSc covers a range of advanced topics related to digital media. Digital media collectively refer to content found in audio, images, video, written and aural speech, biological data, graphics, and virtual reality. To analyze such content, one needs good foundations in signal processing, computational vision, graphics, digital biology, machine learning and computational intelligence, including associated enabling technologies (e.g., deep learning, bioinformatics, language technologies, computer animation, brain computer interfaces).

The MSc provides an excellent opportunity to develop the skills required for careers in some of the most dynamic fields in processing and analysis of big data extracted from multimedia and biological databases, social networks, robotics and autonomous systems, without excluding complex adaptive systems of social life.

Careers

This is a challenging three semester taught master's degree, covering all aspects of signal processing, computational vision, computational intelligence, graphics, and robotics It will prepare you for a diverse range of exciting careers - not only in the digital media and computational intelligence field, but also in areas such as autonomous systems, brain computer interfaces, bioinformatics and digital biology, finance, innovation, consultancy, project management, and employment in government agencies.

Our graduates have gone on to have rewarding careers in some of the leading national or multinational companies, such as NCR, SRI International, Amazon, Deloitte U.K., BETA CAE Systems, Wind Hellas, or government agencies (e.g., forensics experts in the Hellenic Police). Many graduates have chosen a research-oriented career, pursuing doctoral studies and/or gaining faculty positions at leading universities, such as Texas A&M, USA; Imperial College, U.K.; Henan University, China; Trinity College, Ireland; Middlesex University, U.K.; University of Maastricht, The Netherlands; National and Kapodistrian University of Athens; Aristotle University of Thessaloniki as well as main research institutes (e.g., ITI/CERTH).

Fees

Full-time: € 1800 (for the entire three-semester programme).

Entry requirements

A degree (or an international equivalent) is required in computer science or
electrical and computer engineering or a numerate physical science discipline.
