MSc Electronics

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    1 year full time

Course Description

Electronics engineers design and develop the circuits and components which underpin the foundation of the world’s economies.

Our MSc programme in Electronics is tailored for the cutting-edge world of consumer electronics, chip-making industries, and the dynamic interface of digital and analogue domains. With a foundation in both digital and analogue electronics, as well as mixed-signal systems, the programme provides a comprehensive understanding of the design, development, and integration of systems optimised for smartphones, computers, and other advanced consumer devices.

Emphasising both theoretical knowledge and hands-on practice, you’ll be introduced to modern prototyping, advanced micro and nanofabrication techniques, and the electronic systems that form the backbone of today’s most innovative technology, from internet-of-things devices to biomedical instruments.

Entry Requirements

Student Destinations

You will gain significant practical experience in analogue and digital laboratories and become familiar with the latest industry standard design software and environments.

Having been exposed to concepts such as design re-use and systems on chip technology, you will be able to cooperate with others in electronic system design.

Recent graduates are now working in engineer roles that include:

  • application
  • design
  • field
  • test
  • validation

They have had opportunities to work for employers such as:

  • BMW
  • Guangzhou Hangxin Avionics
  • Kongsberg Maritime

Module Details

This programme is run over 12 months. You will have two semesters of taught courses, followed by a research project, leading to a masters thesis.

There is a great deal of flexibility in our degree programme with three distinct streams as follows:

  • Analogue
  • Analogue and Digital
  • Bioelectronics

Students from all streams must take the following compulsory courses:

  • Analogue IC Design (10 credits)
  • Engineering Research Methods with Grand Challenge (10 credits)
  • Analogue VLSI Lab (10 credits)
  • MSc Electronics: Project and Thesis (60 credits)

Additionally, our students must take compulsory courses from each stream.
