Duration
1 Year
There is a high demand for skilled radio frequency (RF) and microwave engineers in the communications, space, aerospace, automotive industries, among others. On our course, you’ll learn about a range of modern theories and practical design techniques which form the essential knowledge and skills you need to become an RF engineer.
You’ll experience RF systems and circuits across the frequency spectrum, ranging from radio frequency identification, working at a few megahertz, through to mmWave frequencies (at tens of gigahertz) which are relevant to satellite communications and advanced 5G radio.
Theoretical concepts established in lectures are complemented by practical implementation in laboratory sessions, with direct experience of industry-standard computer-aided design software.

About this course
RF and microwave engineering helps to make many aspects of our day-to-day lives possible, from mobile phones and Wi-Fi, through to radios and radar systems.
Here at Surrey, we are one of the few institutions with the expertise and facilities to give you hands-on experience in radio frequency and microwave devices. Your teaching will be backed up and informed by pioneering research in wireless communications, space technology, and advanced gigahertz and terahertz microwave technologies. This course emphasises radio and microwave communications in 5G and beyond as well as many industries in the space and defence sector.
Highly skilled RF engineers are highly sought after in the industry, so as a successful graduate of this course you will have plenty of opportunities to pursue a rewarding career. Past employers have included Telefonica, Qinetiq and Ericsson.
A minimum of a 2:2 UK honours degree in either Communication Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Information and Communication Technologies, Physics or Telecommunication Engineering, or a recognised equivalent international qualification. We'll also consider relevant work experience if you don't meet these requirements.
