  • Further Information

This programme extends and combines the technical knowledge acquired on undergraduate programmes in electronics and/or communications engineering. It covers communications engineering and the electronics of communications engineering in a broad sense, with in-depth study in selected areas.

An option course provides the opportunity to further tailor the programme to meet personal needs, with subject specialism underpinned by a 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.
