Course description
What will you study?
You will develop a disciplined engineering approach to and sound practical skills in the specification, design, modelling and implementation of software and hardware for embedded systems. You will gain specialist knowledge in digital signal processing and processors, control systems, mechatronics and automation and research methods.
You can then choose from a wide range of optional modules encompassing computing, engineering and digital media processing. It may also be possible for you to undertake a 'real-world' project in an industrial placement or work alongside the Faculties' research teams (eg digital imaging, industrial control, aerospace, wireless mutimedia and networking).
Course structure
The full MSc consists of five core modules, three option modules and a dissertation project.
By choosing particular option modules, you can customise your programme of studies or specialise in:
-industrial applications (Advanced Automotive Electronics; Industrial Systems and Management; and Systems Modelling and Simulation); or
-computing/multimedia (Media Production and Broadcast Embedded Systems; Component Based Software Engineering; Programming in Java; Developing Object-Oriented Solutions; Multimedia Communications; Software Engineering Tools; or Scientific Programming).
