| Duration: | 12 Months | Method of Attendance: | Full Time |
| Programme manager: | Dr C. Trayner | Contact address: | c.trayner@leeds.ac.uk |
Total credits: 180
Entry requirements:
A degree equivalent to a UK upper second class honours (2.1) degree or higher in Engineering, Physics, or a related discipline; or a good lower second class (2.2) honours degree accompanied by demonstration of specific competence in electronic and/or electrical engineering.
School/Unit responsible for the parenting of students and programme:
School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering
Examination board through which the programme will be considered:
School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering
Programme specification:
The programme will build on the established and successful MSc in Modern Digital and Radio Frequency Wireless Communications. A major attraction is the unique interdisciplinary contribution from the internationally famous research centres within the School. This will fulfill industry's growing need for university-trained engineers who have a complete systems appreciation, within which they have deeper understanding within their chosen specialisation.
It is distinct from its sister MSc programmes within the School in that it is relatively general, attracting students who want a broad perspective.
At the end of the programme students should have a thorough understanding of both the theory and the new practices in the rapidly developing digital communication, VLSI design, embedded systems and control systems technologies. They should also have a firm grounding in the traditional areas of digital signal processing, system design, power electronics and drives.
This will give them both a good general grasp of the subject and some degree of specialist knowledge.
