Study Details: Eight one-week courses
This course has been introduced to comprise elements drawn from our full-time MSc programmes. Its purpose is to encourage industrial professionals to continue with their development without necessitating an expensive career break and minimising disruption to work.
Students will attend eight one-week courses in areas such as communications, systems design, IP networking, Internet of Things and 5G.
In addition to these, you’ll complete a dissertation project. It’s possible for you to undertake your project in the context of your day job, which not only helps to manage time between work and study, but can facilitate direct transfer of knowledge from what you’ve learned into the work you carry out.
A minimum of a 2:2 UK honours degree in electrical engineering, electronic engineering, computer engineering, electronic and computer engineering, mathematics, physics or telecommunication engineering, or a recognised equivalent international qualification.
See our website for fees
Accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer and partially meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.
Each module is worth 15 credits, with the dissertation project being 60 credits. To be awarded the MSc, students will need to gain 120 credits.
You must complete a minimum of two modules a year and undertake the necessary distance learning before completing your subsequent assessments. A separate handbook on this course will be provided once your registration has been accepted. This includes guidance on forming a study plan.
The dissertation project is intended to occupy approximately 75 working days (or 600 hours), of which at least 15 days would be typically spent writing up an interim report halfway through, and eventually a dissertation. You may carry out a project within your company to a schedule agreed by the company project supervisor, the university project supervisor and yourself. Where a project isn’t possible to take within your company, you can be supervised on a project directly with an academic at the University.
The structure of our programmes follows clear educational aims that are tailored to each programme. These are all outlined in the programme specifications which include further details such as the learning outcomes:
