SIGMA offers students a possibility to deepen their knowledge and develop their expertise in the field of digital signal and image processing, computer sciences, and information technologies. A particular emphasis is put on fundamental, modern tools for signal and systems modeling, information extraction from experimental data, as well as information representation and conditioning. The program provides students with the necessary skills to become creative experts in digital technologies with applications ranging from biomedical signal processing over observational sciences (geoscience, monitoring, remote sensing, ...) to statistical learning (machine learning, statistical inference, Bayesian computational methods). The master provides an excellent entry point into PhD studies in electrical engineering and computer sciences, with a specific focus on digital data processing methods.
