COMMUNICATIONS AND INFORMATION ENGINEERING

MSc Communications and Information Engineering

1 year full time | Course code: H641

RECEIVE COMPREHENSIVE TRAINING IN THE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF MODERN COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION ENGINEERING.

Our MSc in Communications and Information Engineering enables 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 PhD.

"Communications 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."
