Course summary

Course overview

On this well-established MSc programme, you will develop advanced knowledge and skills in key aspects of electronic engineering and the Internet of Things. The course content is updated annually to maintain industry relevance and to reflect the latest developments in the industry.

Introduction

The first year of this MSc follows the same structure as the one-year MSc programme. On this programme we build your foundational knowledge through our core topics which include embedded computer systems, digital system design, IC design, microprocessor systems, the Internet of Things and research skills and project management.

We also cover digital design techniques, you will be introduced to materials used in microelectronics, and develop an understanding of designing advanced embedded computer systems – along with a module that will help you to develop the practical skills to develop your final project in semester three.

Youll be able to develop your specialism through optional modules, where you can learn the fundamentals of image processing, the principles of communications networks, the theoretical and practical aspects of parallel programming for multi-core architectures, and an introduction to electrical plasma and how it can be used in microelectronics.

In Year two you will undertake an industrial project and placement (either in the UK or overseas), typically 30 weeks from September to next June. During the placement year you will spend time working in a relevant company suitable for the MSc. This is an excellent opportunity to gain practical engineering experience which will boost your CV, build networks and develop confidence in a working environment. Many placement students continue their relationship with the placement provider by undertaking relevant projects and may ultimately return to work for the company when they graduate.

Please note: We constantly review and develop our postgraduate programmes. This MSc is also available with the alternative title Microelectronic Systems with a Year in Industry MSc for entry September 2025, and gives students the option to graduate with either of these two MSc titles.

Careers and employability

This MSc degree programme is the basis for a career in a profession that offers an extremely wide choice of employment opportunities in engineering, research and development, project management, finance and many more.

The placement year will strengthen your career options by, undertaking the project work in an industrial setting, applying theory learnt in the classroom to real-world practice, developing communications and interpersonal skills, and building networks and knowledge which will be invaluable throughout your career.
