You will need a license to drive an Abrams M1 Battle-tank, 3 empty jars, a small (live) kitten and some pens.

Best of luck

^ Thanks MacGyver ;)

AM, is the subject specifically and only on signal processing?

If so, depends on how deep it goes. At least at the user/practical level, it will cover the main types of effects processing (reverb, delay, phase tricks, distortion, eq, compression, etc.) - how they work, what the parameters mean and do, how to create certain sounds, etc. It will also likely cover some of the more utilitarian processes like digital mixing/summing, gain change, normalisation, time stretching, pitch shifting, etc.

If it goes deeper then you'll be introduced to some of the mathematical algorithms/models and sampling theory. It may also cover the difference between analog and digital processing, but many studies these days are 100% digital.

At its most fundamental, signal processing refers to anything that intentionally changes the signal as passes from output A to input B. This means there's a lot of things to cover. Just how deeply your subject will go I don't know without reading an outline - do they have one online?

Can you say which school?
