Programme Structure
The programme structure is modular and runs full time for 12 months. Students study 120 credits during the first and second semesters and, over the summer, prepare a dissertation worth a further 60 credits. The project dissertation is normally submitted in late August/early September with its examination in mid-September. The MSc degree is awarded upon accumulation of 180 credits.
The course is designed for students with an Electronic Engineering or a related Bachelors degree background. Of the 180 credits, 160 are from core modules and 20 are from choice modules. The core units of the programme are listed in the following table.
