Academic titleElectrical and Communications Engineering, MSc
Course descriptionThis programme extends and combines the technical knowledge acquired on undergraduate courses in electronics and/or communication engineering.
This programme covers communications engineering and the electronics of communication engineering in a broad sense, with in-depth study in selected areas. The option provides the opportunity to further tailor the programme to meet personal needs with subject specialism underpinned by the major research project.
Many of the projects reflect the key interests of the School, such as electronics, embedded systems, communication systems and analogue electronics. Projects are derived from our industrial links or from staff interests.
Students can propose ideas to reflect their personal interests or experience.
