Program overview
Broadcast and Television Engineering is an engineering major under the Electronics and Information category, focusing on the acquisition, processing, transmission, and display of audio and video signals. Simply put, it teaches you how to smoothly deliver content like TV shows, live streams, and short videos from the production end to your screen. The curriculum covers foundational electronics courses such as circuit analysis, signals and systems, and digital signal processing, as well as specialized courses like television principles, digital video technology, audio technology, and communication principles. If you enjoy hands-on work, you'll also get to interact with hardware like studio equipment, encoders, and satellite receivers, as well as software tools like video editing and streaming protocols. This major suits students interested in electronics, communication, and media technology—requiring both logical thinking and a touch of creativity. Chinese universities have unique advantages in this field; for instance, Communication University of China and Zhejiang University of Media and Communications boast national-level experimental teaching demonstration centers and have deep collaborations with media giants like CCTV and Hunan TV, giving students access to cutting-edge 4K/8K production and 5G transmission technologies.
