Broadcast engineering

Behind every live TV programme is a wide variety of engineers that ensure the programme reaches our screens. Many fields of engineering are involved in creating the programme “chain” which carries video and audio signals to our living rooms.

Engineers work on everything from developing software systems to wiring up newsrooms and maintaining satellites so events can be transmitted from the other side of the globe.
