Course Description
This accredited course will provide you with the opportunity to develop practical skills and theoretical knowledge in embedded systems engineering, including embedded systems programming, embedded operating systems, and embedded hardware engineering as well as advanced electronics including Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) based on digital system design, image and signal processing, digital communications, wireless intelligent systems, and robotics
Embedded systems are computing devices that perform dedicated functions or are designed for use with specific embedded software applications.
- Embedded systems engineering is a discipline which designs and implements hardware and software of embedded systems. To name a few, they are crucial to mobile communications, Internet of Things (IoT), household robots and video game consoles.
- The course is designed for graduates with an electronics and computing background. It can provide a leading-edge MSc degree education in embedded systems engineering.
- The technical focus of the course concentrates on a combination of advanced electronics including FPGA based on digital system design, image and signal processing, digital communications, wireless intelligent systems, and robotics as well as the subject specific knowledge in embedded systems including embedded systems programming, embedded operating systems, and embedded hardware engineering.
- An emphasis on applied technical work can strengthen the engineering development skills of students from an academic background. Such work can provide the demonstrable expertise necessary to help secure professional level employment in related industries.
- You will have the option to apply for a ‘professional work placement’ opportunity2, designed to further develop your skills and knowledge with the aim of maximising your employability prospects.
Entry Requirements
An applicant for the course will normally be expected to possess at least one of the following:
- A minimum of a second-class honour’s degree in a relevant subject such as electronic engineering or physics.
- A lower qualification plus appropriate and relevant experience at a professional level.
- Satisfactory independent evidence of working for several years in a position that would normally be occupied by an honour’s graduate in a relevant area (such as the engineering sector), which would lead to gaining benefit from the course.
