Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long will it take me to complete the Masters?
A: It depends. If you have an Honours or equivalent degree (in Electrical & Electronics Engineering, Mathematics, Physics or Computer Science) you will need to complete 24 units. These 24 units may consist of 8 courses or a combination of 6 courses plus a year long project. If studying full time you could complete in one year. Part time students usually do one or two courses per semester -- this means two-four years.

Q: Is it possible to complete all courses (subjects) online?
A: Yes

Q: How many courses (subjects) do I need to complete to do a Graduate Certificate?
A: Four.

Q: How much of the Masters can be completed as face to face lectures and where will those lectures take place?
A: Each semester several courses will be offered as face to face options. Information will appear on the website and enquiries can be made to Anne - Marie Eliseo (education@cssip.edu.au)

Q: My undergraduate degree is from China. I am not sure if it is equivalent to an Honours degree or not. Will I have to do 24 or 36 units to complete Masters?
A: You need to submit a copy of your degree and a certified copy of your academic transcript with translations upon application. The University of Adelaide will determine the status of your degree and inform you of the number of units you need to complete.

Q: I only have an ordinary degree in maths, not Honours. I am very interested in this Masters. Could I enrol without Honours?
A: It is strongly recommended that you do Honours first. To be accepted into the program you must demonstrate a very strong background in Mathematics. If you are accepted into the program you must complete 36 units.

Q: Some of the courses in this program look very mathematical. Are there any courses which are not so mathematical. I am interested in gaining employment in the telecommunications field.
A: We do have some courses which are less mathematical and are particularly relevant to the telecommunications industry. These include information theory, satellite communications and mobile communications. Different short courses on various topics are also offered each semester.

Q: What kind of job could I get with a Masters in Signal and Information Processing?
A: Some graduates go on to complete PhD study. Others work in the Defence industry in organisations such as DSTO, ADI, Tenix, Saab Systems, Raytheon and BAE Systems. Some become academics and work in areas such as medical imaging. Several graduates have started their own software development companies.

Q: Can I count any courses I have studied at other universities towards this Masters degree?
A: This depends on the courses. If the academic coordinator of the program judges the course to be of the appropriate standard and if the course has not been counted towards another degree the answer is yes.

Q: Whom can I ask a question?
A: CSSIP Education Manager, Anne - Marie Eliseo (education@cssip.edu.au)
