Shaping digital transition
The ASC Elite Graduate Program ensures that graduates have an advanced level of personal development, in-depth knowledge of communication and multimedia technology, are able to employ well-structured academic work methods and have the core skills that will ensure they can be considered as the ‘brightest minds’ and ‘high potentials’ who merit appointment to executive posts in business and science. ASC graduates will advance technological progress as disseminators in leadership positions with managerial responsibility in business and science and contribute sustainably towards societal prosperity. Furthermore, the qualification provided by the ASC Elite Graduate Program constitutes an outstanding starting point for acquiring a subsequent doctorate in the shortest time possible.
Cyber physical systems will play a central role in the worlds of business and everyday life. Their task will be to log, evaluate and communicate information collected from the environment, in particular multimedia content. Data needs to be protected against interference and eavesdropping to enable the transfer and distribution of even greater amounts of information. Massive multi-antenna technology and the latest progress in wireless communication are used for this purpose and subject to extensive research. Data evaluation will be fully automated by means of advanced machine learning algorithms. Students participating in the ASC Elite Graduate Program play an active role in all these future-orientated fields of research.
Auf der breiten interdisziplinären Ausrichtung aufbauend sind diverse Spezialisierungen möglich. Bei deren Wahl werden die Studentinnen und Studenten mit Blick auf ihre Interessen und Karrierewünsche im Rahmen des Mentorenprogramms beraten. Um die internationale Ausbildung zu vertiefen, können sie darüber hinaus ihre Forschungsergebnisse auf internationalen Fachkongressen präsentieren.
In dem forschungsorientierten Studiengang “Advanced Signal Processing and Communications” erwerben die Studierenden durch individualisierte Förderung zentrale Kompetenzen in den Bereichen der Informationstechnik und des maschinellen Lernens.
