MSc Module Choice
This webpage will provide you with guidance for your module choice. Please read it carefully and get in touch as soon as possible if you have any questions.
Module Choice
Choosing your modules is one of your pre-registration tasks. How many modules you can choose from depends on the programme you have chosen to study, as some programmes have a set of required - core - modules. Core modules will be preloaded onto the module choice system, and you will need to select enough additional modules to make up 180 credits.
When you choose your modules, you should consider the following:
- Have you studied the subject as an undergraduate? The modules are advanced and assume that you have background knowledge of the subject matter. The Department may reject your choices if we don’t think your background is suitable. Please view our Module Posters and Preliminary Reading lists to find out about the content of the modules before making your selection.
- Which semester does the module take place in? You should choose your modules so that you are studying roughly an equal number during Semester 1 & Semester 2.
Please click on your chosen programme below for further information about your module choices:
- EEET01: MSc Data Communications
-
Some of your modules are taught by the Computer Science Department who will be approving any modules where the module code begins with COM. Please see the Programme Regulations for your available module choices.
Because this course is shared with Computer Science, in addition to choosing your taught modules, you can choose whether you want to do a project in EEE or COM. If you are interested in doing a project in COM, you will be invited to attend a project talk by the COM department, which usually takes place in November.
- EEET13: MSc Electronic and Electrical Engineering
-
For students on MSc Electronic & Electrical Engineering, you have two core modules - the EEE6013 Engineering Research and Design Project, and the EEE6602 Investigative Research Project. You need to choose seven additional modules to make up 180 credits. We recommend that you choose seven modules from one of the module combinations below, which have been grouped together in specific areas of interest. You should make your choices based on what you studied as an undergraduate. Please see the Programme Regulations for your available module choices.
Electronic Systems - These modules cover a wide range of topics focussed on the design of electronic systems, including high frequency communication systems, digital signal processors, integrated circuits and computer architectures.
EEE6207; EEE6208; EEE6209; EEE6214; EEE6220; EEE6221; EEE6225; EEE6431; EEE6602
Communications - These modules explore the theory underpinning communication systems and the latest innovations in communications technology, particularly the key design aspects of a modern cellular mobile radio system.

Entering your modules onto the system
Once you are happy with your choices, please log into the Pre-Registration Portal, open up Module Choice and enter your chosen modules into this system.
Once you have entered and submitted your chosen modules, our academics will check your choices against your Undergraduate Academic Transcript. Please note that this process may take up to two days.
Once approved, you will be notified. If there are any problems with your selected modules, we will contact you so please check your emails regularly.
The modules that we offer at MSc level are advanced, and in some cases students may choose a module in which they do not have the correct background knowledge. We will get in touch with you if we believe you are unequipped for your chosen modules.
You will have the opportunity to change your module choice once you have submitted it. During Intro Week, you will attend a Module Advice Session and you will be invited to talk with module leaders to understand what it will be like to study on their course. We encourage you to attend as many module lectures as possible in the first few weeks, to understand what each module involves. After a few weeks of being a student with us you will have the option to reflect on your chosen modules, and remove or add new ones. The period during which you can change your modules is called the Module Add/Drop period, and you will be informed when this opens. Please make sure that you only submit one request to change your modules during the Module Add/Drop period, as your changes will only be approved once.
