Course overview
Course Content
The programme is operated on a modular basis and consists of two semesters during which students follow a series of taught modules in electrical and electronic engineering and a provision for in-sessional English for students wishing to improve their English.
You will be taught using the latest advances in teaching methods and electronic resources, as well as small-group and individual tuition.
Particular features of the programme include:
-one-to-one tuition with expert members of staff
-teaching informed by active leading-edge researchers
-in the field
-innovative and engaging teaching methods
-access to many online resources
-flexibility in course content
All Postgraduate students in the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering join a lively and thriving postgraduate community.
Students undertake an Electrical or Electronic Engineering Design Project and select a range of modules (certain restrictions apply) from:
Electronic Design, Solid State Devices, VLSI Design, Telecommunication Electronics, Power Networks, Electrical Machines, Electronic Drives, Power Electronic Design, Control Systems, Fields Waves and Antennas, Control Systems, Digital Communications, Object Oriented Programming in Java, Communication Systems, Embedded Computer Hardware, Microwave Communications, IT Infrastructure.
In addition students study a business related topic such as Business Accounting or Management Studies.
Students also have the opportunity to select an optional module from Science, Mathematics, Engineering, Computer Science, Law, Business or Languages.
Students who have an English language level below IELTS 6.0 or equivalent must take English Language and Study Skills A and B.
Upon successful completion of the first stage students will progress to the full-time MSc programme in the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
Course Structure
You will be taught using the latest advances in teaching methods and electronic resources, as well as small-group and individual tuition from both schools.
Most taught modules are assessed by examination and / or written work.
Tutors provide feedback on assignments. Our objective is to help you develop the confidence to work as a professional engineer, at ease with the conventions of both engineering and business disciplines. We aim to prepare you to tackle many areas of commercialisation within Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
