Our School is a community of scholars leading the way in technological research and development. Today’s telecommunications engineers are creative people who are focused and committed, yet restless and experimental.

More than two-thirds of our research is rated ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’ (REF 2014). This course is also available on a part-time basis.
We will consider all applicants with 2:2 or above, or equivalent international qualifications. For some courses, there may be additional requirements which can be found on our website.
