Course summary
Why study this course? This career-focused course is designed to help you kick-start your career in a range of industrial sectors such as aeronautics, automotive, defence, smart phones, telecommunication, medical devices and railway. The course will ensure you're equipped to work at a professional level in upcoming areas of electronics, internet of things (IoT) and cyber physical systems, as well as for progressing to further postgraduate study such as a master’s degree programme or MPhil/PhD. More about this course One of the key strengths of the course is its practical nature, allowing you to develop hands-on skills and expertise. The course is supported by several specialised laboratories in general electronics, IoT, high frequency communications, computer aided design, embedded systems and digital systems, and opto-electronics. When studying any of our specialised modules you will spend a considerable part of the module in these laboratories, providing an opportunity to practise what you learn in your lectures and seminar sessions and (using an industry-standard simulation package) investigate, design, implement, test and document a variety of real-world examples of electronics and communications systems. These sessions are performed individually or as part of a group. You will have opportunities to enhance the skills that employers in the industry are looking for and gain experience through a work placement in real client-driven projects – working with business and industry through our work-related learning module. The course will also help you develop interpersonal, team working and engineering skills alongside commercial, ethical and environmental awareness.
