RECEIVE COMPREHENSIVE TRAINING IN THE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF MODERN COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION ENGINEERING.
Our MSc Communications and Information Engineering allows students to gain an understanding of the information- theoretic underpinnings alongside the physical-layer aspects of optical and radio transmission.
You’ll cover developments in radio network architectures and deployment and have the opportunity to study digital multimedia storage and communication technologies, data analytics and data mining in terms of algorithms and goals in real-world problems. Cross-discipline options from the Department of Computer Science offer key insights into approaches for dealing with the explosion in data collected in modern society (‘big data’). After graduation you’ll be well equipped for employment opportunities in modern information and communication engineering, which is currently undergoing a revolution. Recent graduates from the course occupy positions in a variety of industries in the UK and worldwide, including core network provision, logistics, software support and data communication equipment/services, as well as banking, oil and gas, and fashion. The course is also the perfect platform for progression to a research degree.
"Communications and Information Engineering is an exciting degree course that provides training in both recent advances and classical theories of communications and information technologies. You will have a chance to do individual and group projects with our highly reputed staff in the frontiers of communications and information engineering, such as 5G/6G, broadband networks, UAV communications, Internet of Things, and cyber security, to prepare yourself for a career in the telecommunications industry and beyond."

ELECTRICAL POWER ENGINEERING
MSc Electrical Power Engineering 1 year full time | Course code: H643
Accrediting institutions:
Qualified electrical engineers are desperately needed by the power industry. There is also a severe shortage of power engineering expertise in other sectors, such as government bodies and finance organizations, where a detailed knowledge of energy supply and demand is increasingly important as societies develop and adapt to pressing environmental and economic constraints, dwindling reserves of fossil fuels and the emergence of new energy technologies.
As the mitigation of global warming becomes ever more important, the electrification of transportation and heat as well as the accelerated penetration of renewable energy into the power grid have become main objectives in Electrical Power Engineering. The technologies studied in this MSc are the underpinning innovation forces in various industries including the electric transportation industry, aviation industry and power generation and transmission industries including renewable energy.
This course will give you the knowledge and skills required for a career in electrical power engineering and is an opportunity to update your knowledge with the latest developments in renewable energy and smart grids.
"Our Electrical Power Engineering MSc course is excellently tailored to train future engineers in this area. It uniquely considers electrical power conversion and control at devices, converters and systems levels, developing corresponding knowledge and practical skills. The MSc projects are industry oriented. This opens broad perspectives for the graduates to continue their career in power electronic devices design and manufacturing, in power electronic converters application, including renewable energy and electrical vehicles, in electricity distribution and transmission companies, and in power stations.”
