Course programme
Advanced Digital Communications
This module introduces students to more advanced topics in digital communication systems and to provide you with up-to-date knowledge of the techniques used in digital communication systems including OFDM, WCDMA and MIMO.
Network Design and Management
Introduces the models and algorithms associated with network design and management, and provides a practical understanding of design principles.
DSP for Communications
Enables you to successfully map DSP algorithms (FFT, CDMA, OFDM, FIR filters) used in wireless communication systems to an advanced digital system such as a digital signal processor (DSP) or field programmable gate arrays (FPGA).
Wireless Network Technologies
The aim of this module is to introduce students to the design and operation of wireless networks through concepts, terminologies, performance analysis and industrial standards (WiFi, LTE-Adwanced, WiMAX, DVB-T2).
Communications Network Security
Introduces the advanced theory that enables what is achievable through the use of cryptography and presents the practical techniques and algorithms that are currently important for efficient and secure communication over wireless networks.
Research Methods
Instils principles of good research practice and enables you to conduct scientifically-robust research and raising your awareness of engineering quality issues, environmental and health and safety risks. The module also helps develop your understanding of how research and development drives innovation in a business context and the mechanisms to protect intellectual property.
Radio and Optical Communication Systems
Covers advanced topics in radio (antennas, RF amplifiers, link budget analysis, satellite communications) and optical communications, which allow you to follow the most recent technologies in the field.
Project Management
This module aims to introduce students to projects and project management, projects in organisations, project selection, project management leadership, team working, project planning, scheduling and resource allocation, project optimisation using linear programming and project monitoring and control.
Project &Dissertation
The dissertation is a stimulating and challenging part of the MSc programme. It provides the opportunity to apply your knowledge from the taught part of the course and to specialise in one aspect, developing your understanding and expertise in your chosen area.
You can carry out your project within the University or in the industry. For company-sponsored students, projects are related to the company’s present and future enterprise. Industrial projects often lead to recruitment of the students by the sponsoring companies.
