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.
