Wireless communication and mobile computing are currently the largest growth sectors in electronics and are expected to continue to grow in the future. The impact on the consumer market is widespread with devices such as third generation mobile phones, car navigation systems, smart phones, tablets and handheld computers. Such devices are now pervasive and are already extending to embedded computer systems in many everyday objects, including vehicles, consumer goods, personal health and entertainment systems. This one year full-time taught MSc integrates electronics, communications and computing, from core principles to cutting edge applications, to provide the student with valuable skills for future employment in this growth sector. The programme content features: Advanced modules in electronics, communications and computer engineering. Specially designed modules to support recent developments in the relevant technologies such as computer operating systems for mobile devices. A substantial group project in which students will develop skills and knowledge that will prepare them for working in industry or undertaking further academic study. The project will involve the design and practical implementation of an internet device using ARM processors.
