Undergraduate opportunities
The work carried out by members of SPARG feeds directly into teaching material for a number of undergraduate programmes in the School of Technology at Derby. Modules that have grown from the SPARG research group include:
- Embedded Systems
- DSP Theory
- Real-time Audio DSP
- Auditory Perception and Psychoacoustics
- Multi-channel Sound System Design
- Musical Applications Programming
This link with research ensures that we keep undergraduate material on the cutting edge of our subject areas. Undergraduate courses that access these modules include:
- BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering
- BSc (Hons) Sound, Light and Live Event Technology
- BSc (Hons) Music Technology and Audio System Design
- BSc (Hons) Music Technology and Production
- BSc (Hons) Multimedia Technology and Music Production
- BA (Hons) Popular Music and Music Technology
Postgraduate Opportunities
The research group currently delivers two Masters Level taught programmes:
Research opportunities for individuals
The group provides supervision for small number of postgraduate researchers (MPhil/PhD), working on specific projects. Additionally, some individuals, with a clear direction in mind, come to study within the group leading to fruitful exchanges of ideas and techniques.Contact the research office for further information.
There are occasional sponsored studentships available, advertised on this site, the University website or jobs.ac.uk
Research opportunities for organisations
SPARG is committed to maintaining close links with industry, in the form of occasional consultancy over a specific technical challenge, periodic long-term consultancy, or providing and supervising significant research and development projects. The Government's Knowledge Transfer Partnership schemes can provide substantial financial assistance for these university/industry collaborations.
For further information, please contact the research office.
