About this course

This degree provides future integrated circuit (IC) designers with in-depth knowledge of analogue, mixed signal and digital circuits. You will gain experience in both the practical issues of device-level design and system-level performance requirements. A key feature is the balanced approach to both analogue and digital IC design, and the in-depth treatment of low power circuits and embedded systems. We cover issues that are related to digital system design using modern programming languages, to embedded systems and their OS, to the design of high performance systems based on GPUs and FPGAs, to the design of low power and high performance analogue circuits, as well as issues related to communication of systems (optical and RF) and to MEMS and nanotechnology. 

All applicants must apply online. You can usually apply for up to two courses, although your second choice will only be considered if your first-choice application is unsuccessful. Most courses don't have a formal closing date, but popular courses close when they are full, so you should apply early to avoid disappointment. There may also be funding deadlines that apply to you. You will need to upload documents with your applications, which may include transcripts and degree...

Course programme

Modules shown are for the current academic year, and are subject to change depending on your year of entry.

You take four compulsory core modules and either four or five optional modules. You study for these modules in the Autumn (October–December) and Spring (January–April) terms. Modules are taught through a blend of lectures, tutorials and practical laboratories. You will take written exams on the studied modules in May–June.

You will also carry out an individual research project: three months part-time (January–March) and four months full-time (June–September). The project gives you the opportunity to carry out research that deepens your knowledge of an area in which you have a special interest. It also develops your report writing, presentation and time management skills. An academic supervisor will mentor you, and the project is assessed by a written report and poster presentation in September.

Core modules:
  • Analogue Integrated Circuits and Systems
  • Analogue Signal Processing
  • Full-Custom Integrated Circuit Design
  • VHDL and Logic Synthesis
Optional modules:
  • Advanced Electronic Devices
  • Digital Signal Processing and Filters
  • Embedded Systems
  • High Performance Analogue Electronics
  • High Performance Computing for Engineers
  • Instrumentation
  • MEMS and Nanotechnology

We regularly review our modules in an effort to continuously improve and update them.
