STUDY PROGRAM: 19- Multimedia technologies (19-МT)

Duration: 1 year

ECTS points: 60 ECTS

Degree: Master of Sciences of Electrical Engineering and Information Technologies

The development and availability of multimedia technologies resulted in rapid increase of demand of qualified human resources in this area. This need is currently satisfied through the process of selection of engineers in the field of digital signal processing and computer engineering and their further education in the companies or universities abroad. Typically, engineers in those areas have considerable technical knowledge, but lack in knowledge considering creative aspects of creation of multimedia content. They follow the development of multimedia technologies as their personal interest, but not as a professional commitment. On the other side, the development of multimedia technologies is so rapid that their mastering and utilization is only possible through in-depth education of professionals in technical areas, as well as in creative processes of multimedia content creation.

The content of this study program enables the students education adapted to current trends of multimedia technologies development, as well as to the needs of companies working in the field. The need of human resources is considerable not only in the domain of utilization of multimedia technologies, but also in the field of research and development. The number of companies that base their operations in research and development is constantly increasing. In this direction, their primary problem currently is lack of human resources and inability to implement systematic approach in knowledge development. This study program can be attended by students with technical background, as well as students with primary orientation in arts. The program will enable the students to acquire skills in analysis, design and implementation of multimedia systems for different purposes. The program includes different areas of multimedia, such as networks, sensor systems, graphics and animation, digital image, video and audio processing etc. Students completing this program will be capable of working in interdisciplinary teams and will be valuable in many fields in modern multimedia-oriented society. They will find employment in IT companies, companies for multimedia systems production and maintenance, as well as arts and entertainment industry. They will also be capable for engagement in research and education at universities, science institutes, research centers etc.
