MSc Systems Engineering for the Internet of Things

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MSc 1 year full-time

Course Description

Prepare for a career as an innovator by combining technical and entrepreneurial skills in sensor systems to solve real-world problems. This one-year Master's integrates electronics, programming, robotics and the Internet of Things (IoT) with entrepreneurship. Gain hands-on experience from idea generation to prototyping and deployment, robotics and AI.

The fast-growing IoT field faces challenges from the interaction of digital and physical processes. This programme prepares you to become an expert in IoT, suitable for industries such as manufacturing, consumer electronics, security, mining, design, transport, exploration, and healthcare. 

This programme combines academic expertise in Systems Engineering for the Internet of Things with insights from industry experts and real-world customers. Hands-on experience is central to this degree, with multiple projects throughout the programme. 

You will gain a core understanding of designing, deploying, and using distributed sensors and actuators in the real world, along with entrepreneurial skills and practical experience.

You will also learn about laws, regulations, customer needs, and societal implications, providing a comprehensive understanding of innovations in sensor systems.

Taught at the new UCL East campus in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, this programme offers a modern learning environment that embraces an ethos of community and innovation. The campus and surrounding area are equipped with sensor systems, offering unique learning opportunities in this cutting-edge location.
