Electronic Engineering and the Internet of Things

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. 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. You’ll 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. Part-time study is in cooperation with the students’ employers. Please contact the Programme Director before applying. Please note: We constantly review and develop our postgraduate programmes. This MSc is also available with the alternative title Microelectronic Systems MSc for entry September 2026, and gives students the option to graduate with either of these two MSc titles. This course is aimed at graduates who already have a good general level of knowledge and understanding in electronics or closely related subjects with advanced knowledge (at level M) and capabilities in the specific areas of electronic engineering. • Develop an understanding of the issues in designing complex digital and analogue systems• Understanding the capabilities of tools used for the design and simulation of these complex systems• Bu
