About this course

You will undertake a Research Methods module at the beginning of this course, which is designed to develop knowledge, skills and experience that will provide you with a firm foundation for your main Research Project.
You then have the option to choose two further modules, subject to meeting pre-requisite requirements, in order to develop specific technical knowledge relating to your research project. These can be selected from the full range of modules delivered across our computing and technology taught master's courses.

Current demands are greater than ever for individuals to attain postgraduate levels of qualification in an increasingly competitive jobs market. As a result, the Electronic Systems postgraduate degree has been designed to meet the needs of students and employers, providing superior qualified graduates to national and international employers.
Alternatively, if you wish to continue your research as a career, this qualification is an ideal basis for further study leading to a PhD. If you continue your studies at Nottingham Trent University, work originally undertaken for an MRes may be put towards building a research portfolio leading to a PhD.

A UK honours degree (minimum 2.1) or equivalent in a related discipline such as electronics or physics
Applications are also invited from mature students with non-traditional qualifications
Students must produce a research proposal as part of their application

Course programme

Core modules:
  • Research Methods (20 cp) - You will develop the skills of research and enquiry that will enhance your independent learning abilities and enable you to write effective project reports and technical papers.
  • Research Project (120 cp) - You will develop advanced skills in a relevant specialist topic area through the completion of a research project. The project integrates knowledge of the course and includes the design and / or development of an innovative solution to a complex and challenging technical problem presented as a dissertation or technical research paper.
Optional modules:

You will choose two modules which include the below options but could, with the agreement of your tutor, take any modules within our Computing and Technology suite.

  • Digital Control (20 cp) - By means of case studies, you'll develop your knowledge and understanding of object-oriented 4th-generation programming, as applied to digital control.
  • Robotics and Cybernetics (20 cp) - You'll develop knowledge of the relevant theories, advanced techniques and practices underpinning modern robotic and cybernetic systems - including robot design, construction and programming techniques.
  • Applied Artificial Intelligence (20 cp) - Learn about a variety of artificial intelligence methods - such as machine learning, and reasoning techniques - how they can be used to solve real-world problems.
  • Software Engineering 1 (20 cp) - This module will develop your programming skills using the C++ language, and enhance your understanding of software implementation principles.
  • Embedded Systems (20 cp) - This module introduces the theory and practice of embedded engineering including performance, limitations, and the benefits of micro-controllers and other embedded controller systems.
  • Group Design Project (20 cp) - During this module, you'll focus mainly on the technical aspects of developing a cross-disciplinary group design project.
  • Computer Security (20 cp) - Learn how to critically analyse security problems affecting computing systems at the operating system and application levels, and devise security solutions.
  • Wireless Communications (20 cp) - Develop knowledge and understanding of wireless communication technologies, practical constraints, and their applications to simulated or practical implementation scenarios.
  • Mobile Networks (20 cp) - You'll develop an awareness of the requirements, capabilities and constraints of a variety of mobile computing technologies and the networking facilities that can be built.
