On this program, students will develop and enhance their understanding of electronic engineering to an advanced level, setting them apart in their careers. Students will learn from world experts in areas that are crucial to the electronics sector over the next decade. Through a wide range of core and optional modules, they will also have the opportunity to tailor their learning experience towards specific industrial sectors including energy, the environment, automotive, wireless technologies and health.
Students may already have a firm grasp of the essentials of the discipline, however this program will provide them with a practical understanding of advanced topics linked to a research portfolio that has been rated as internationally excellent, and guided by leading experts, including industry specialists.
A cutting-edge learning environment
The learning environment students will study within embraces expertise in electronics for wireless communications, flexible and printable electronics, solar cells, RF engineering for Particle accelerators, millimetre waves and terahertz technology. Exposure to these technologies will take students beyond current industrial practice to develop specialist knowledge and skills for emerging markets. As part of the general engineering ethos at Lancaster students will mix with multi-disciplinary engineering concepts from electronics, mechatronic and mechanical engineering, skills which are highly sought after by employers.
Students will become adept at programming advanced microcontrollers; designing RF circuits; designing microstructures for advanced displays and sensors, building control loops and developing associated software. The robust and comprehensive skill set and knowledge they gain will open up a range of opportunities and support their progression as professionals.
Project based learning
During the course, students will also complete a project provided by either one of the university's industry partners or from within the Department’s own research portfolio - they have world-leading research and facilities in very high frequency next generation mobile communications, particle accelerators for radiotherapy, Industry 4.0 and industrial control systems, microfluidics and MEMS, and RF and THz sensing.
The project brings together multiple aspects of students' studies and provides valuable real-world experience of working as a professional electronic engineer. As part of this project, students will structure and break down a problem; develop team organisation, project management and technical skills; and use background sources and research. Students will also gain career experience by presenting their results and writing a customer report.
