MSc Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering

Program Overview

Be behind the latest developments in a fast-paced world of communications. You’ll study analogue and digital electronics and control systems such as mobile phones and antennas. Get practical experience of the ‘Internet of Things’ for network enabled products.

This course offers a full spectrum of learning and current research with our experienced staff. Face-to-face teaching and use of our specialised laboratories will ensure you have the latest knowledge in this dynamic field.

You’ll get a practical understanding of embedded systems, meeting a growing trend for network enabled devices in the home, as well as optical fibre systems for broadband and computer networks.

With this Masters course you’ll undertake a major project where you can specialise in an area of interest or to support your work goals. Employability is strong for graduates in Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering.

On successful completion of study, we will issue the following award: MSc Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering.

Teaching

We know that everyone learns differently. So not only do we use traditional ways of teaching like lectures and tutorials, we also use problem-based learning to help you apply your skills.

For this course, you'll:

• Work with others on group work
• Work in specialist laboratories
• Be expected to study independently

Our teaching is supported through our Virtual Learning Environment called Blackboard. This means you can access a range of materials to support your lectures wherever you are.

We’ll also assign you a supervisor to support you throughout your research project.

Assessment

There are two types of assessments: practice (also called formative) or formal (also called summative).

Practice assessments do not count towards your final mark. These are your chance to test your understanding and learn how to improve for the real thing.

You’ll have formal assessments at the end of each module. These could include essays, exams, or portfolios.

Careers

After completing the Electronic and Telecommunication MSc, you’ll be equipped to work in the following roles:

• Research and development
• Engineering consultancy
• Project management
• Teaching

Eager for more knowledge? Upon completion, you’ll be ideally placed for further academic study at PhD level.
