MSc Electronic and Communication Engineering (with Placement)

About the course

This course is specifically aimed at International students, supporting those wishing to gain practical work based experiential learning. Together with studying your chosen course we are offering an additional 6 month placement opportunity, making the course 18 months in length. This allows students with limited experience to put into practice the skills and techniques developed throughout the Master’s degree.

Electronic and communication systems are used to produce, transmit, receive and process signals for information transfer in communications systems. Optical fibre, radio frequency and wireless technologies are investigated alongside optimal coding systems and protocols, in addition to the principle aspects of electronic engineering.

This course aims to cover a range of design and development areas relevant to electronic systems and communication projects. You should gain the knowledge and skills required of a professional engineer to design and develop systems for applications such as: wireless communications, mobile-cellular communications, electronics design, broadcasting, remote control, instrumentation, diagnostics, and monitoring.

Graduate destinations are in electronic and communication engineering research, design and development in mobile telecommunications, satellite and aerospace industries.

Enhance your career

We would expect to see graduates progress to careers in electronic and electrical engineering, research and development in the electronics and communications industry. You could also go on to further study and the University has many options available for postgraduate research which may interest you.
