ObjectivesThis MSc is designed to provide instruction and training in the most recent developments in a broad area of technology covering Electronic, Ultrasonic and Instrumentation Engineering. The course aims to provide students with an advanced and comprehensive coverage of specialist skills required by an engineer working in relevant areas.
Entry requirementsThe programme provides an excellent basis for engineers wishing to update their knowledge, or students who wish to go on to do research, or for first degree students wishing to enhance their training.
Academic titleMSc Electronic and Ultrasonic Instrumentation
Course descriptionCourse Content
The programme is operated on a modular basis and consists of two semesters during which
students follow a series of taught modules (120 credits), followed by a research project (60 credits) undertaken during the summer period.
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 MSc students in the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering join a lively and thriving postgraduate community.
Course Structure
The MSc in Electronic and Ultrasonic Instrumentation is completed by full-time study over 12 months.
Compulsory Taught Modules of 90 credits
HDL for Programmable Logic with project, Advanced Signal Processing with project, Instrumentation and Measurement with project, Engineering Ultrasonics with project and Ultrasonic Measurement Techniques.
Students undertake a project which is a major piece of advanced independent research,
which you complete over the summer under the supervision of a specialist in your chosen area. We will provide you with advice and guidance while you select and refine your area of study, and offer close supervision and support as you complete your research and your MSc.
Most taught modules are assessed by examination and/or written work.
Tutors provide feedback on assignments. Our objective is to help you devleop the confidence to work as a professional academic, at ease with the conventions of
the discipline, and ready to tackle any area of research in Electronic and Ultrasonic Instrumentation.
In the early stages of your project dissertation, your supervisor will read through and comment on your draft work. The project dissertation itself comprises a significant piece of your own research.
