The MSc Communications and Information Engineering course enables students to understand the fundamentals of information theory and apply appropriate performance and quality measures to engineer enhanced data communication systems. They design state-of-the-art networks using legacy as well as emerging optical and wireless technologies, developing their ability to define and apply appropriate analytic, algorithmic and a mix of simulation and hardware tools for reliable data transfer.
Learners will cover specific subjects such as Digital Mobile Communication Systems and Optical Communication Technologies alongside cohort taught subjects to develop their management skills and employability.
This 18-month Master's course is accredited by IET and meets Engineering Council in the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UKSPEC). It is supported by the School of Physics, Engineering and Computer Science which has over 25 years' experience of teaching electronic engineering and has established an excellent international reputation in this field. Teaching staff are active in research and useful elements of it are reflected on the learning experience.
Communications engineers prepare and maintain communications systems and the marketplace increasingly relies on highly advanced communications systems, so communications engineering is a valued field. Careers may be sought in telecommunications or related fields that use computer networking and satellite, digital TV, Internet or radio technology. The MSc Communications and Information Engineering graduates may expect employment across a very wide range of engineering companies like Transport for London, Network Rail, and the Institution of Engineering and Technology.
