Testimonials

The opportunity to study CME significantly boosted my career, opening a vast range of professional and networking opportunities that I continue to benefit from. I’ve always been fascinated by the diverse applications of signal processing, which is at the heart of the CME program. Whether it’s communications, image processing, video processing, or speech and audio processing, the program offers a robust foundation for building a career. Personally, I found the laboratories and research topics particularly engaging. My research internship and Master’s thesis at WSAudiology were only possible because of the skills and knowledge I gained through CME.

Currently, I work as a Software Engineer, where I apply this knowledge in the field of radar signal processing. If you are proactive and open, there are plenty of professors and peers willing to provide support, especially during challenging times.

I chose CME because its curriculum perfectly aligns with my passion for Audio Engineering. During the first two semesters, I laid a strong foundation in Signal Processing and Communications. This paved the way for my specialization in Music and Speech Processing, Acoustics, and Psychoacoustics in subsequent courses.

What’s remarkable is how each course builds upon the others, fostering a comprehensive understanding. The research and courses offered at the International Audio Laboratories have particularly captured my interest. As a student research assistant at AudioLabs, I’ve delved into Music Signal Processing, which further solidified my commitment to this field.

All in all, enrolling in CME for my Master’s degree has been an unparalleled decision.

One of the best things about CME is being part of a small group of motivated and passionate international students who learn close to the best professors in the fields of Communications and Multimedia Engineering.

It felt like creating a new supportive family away from home. This closeness to the professors that you can’t find in other programs makes it easy to ask for advice and build your future career. The connection to the Fraunhofer Institute allows you to see, firsthand, how it is to work on research in such a prestigious place.

The balanced depth and breadth of the courses in the CME program have given me a comprehensive post-graduate level overview of my subjects of interest, allowing me to participate in interdisciplinary research. I had a student assistant position at Fraunhofer IIS during my studies and continued working as a research engineer after graduation.

Currently I’m pursuing a Ph.D. focusing on joint source (multimedia) and channel coding using machine learning as a part of my job.

I credit the CME program for laying the groundwork of my qualification.

(Ömer K., Bachelor’s degree from Bilkent University, Turkey)

When I first got admission into the CME program, I didn’t realise how much it would help me reignite my passion for scientific research. The course curriculum has not only fortified my concepts in Signal Processing but has also helped me discover my deep interest in Audio Engineering.

I have had the opportunity to work as a student research assistant at Fraunhofer IIS and AudioLabs which allowed me to gain valuable industrial experience. Also, this propelled me to become a part of the AES (Audio Engineering Society) Erlangen-Nuremberg (Student Section).

This has helped me build strong networks with fellow students and researchers who are audio enthusiasts like me.

(Komal H., Bachelor’s degree from Mumbai University, India)

For me the courses in Digital Signal Processing, Digital Communications and Audio Processing were especially exciting. CME also provided me with a strong basis in algorithms for employing machine learning to industry problems which I am currently applying successfully in my work as entrepreneur.
